Hey everyone. New to the forum obviously but I am trying to get some info.
I currently have an Early 99 7.3L Powerstroke with 340,000 miles(I bought it at 147k miles). I'm looking to get a newer truck but all I know about diesel is what I researched when buying my 99 and that was the early 6.0 Powerstroke was no good.
I can spend around 20k, would like 2012 or newer if possible, and don't have a preference between dodge, chevy, or ford. All though with how well my ford has held up I am partial to them. I'm in construction so I will tow some but not much, and it needs 4x4.
I guess I'm looking for anything I shouldn't get. similar to "Don't buy a 2003 6.0" back when I was getting my 99. Are there any trucks that I should stay away from that are 2012 or newer??
Also, I'm not in a huge rush so if there is something I should wait to find that may be a possibility also.
thanks for your help everyone.
