You guys are delusional if you think all 3 domestic brand trucks aren’t trash. Just pick the one that tickles your gonads best and be ready to drop your pants / bend over at any moment.

Yep everything has their own problems.

OP, what kind of distances are you going to tow? Specifically, the horses. Are we talking from your place to an arena? All over AB in rodeo? House to trailhead? Only in warmer months? I think if only short, weekender type trips I think you can get away with a half-ton. Budget will drive the decision, but I’m sticking with best case is a 3/4 or 1-ton gasser (you said in original post it will be “wife-maintained” that’s bad news for a diesel). Backup plan is the newest, highest payload half-ton you can get.

There is a 96, 2wd, 1996 Silverado 3500 dually, gasser for sale on FB Marketplace for $16,000. I think it has 45,000miles. You should buy it

Marketplace also claims to have a ‘09 duramax powered sierra with 240k kms for $10k
