2006 Nissan Frontier 4.0 Auto: it pulls fine, but won't stop for shit, kinda a hassle. 12 or so MPG

2007 Chevy 2500HD 6.2 Gas Auto: Pulls great can barely feel a one car the new 2007 Chevys rule my face, so fucking nice. 13.7 average milage over 7k miles, some with a 10k load on a goose neck.

2006 Chevy 3500 Dually 6.6 Allison: Can't even feel a one car. Pulls a three car with no trailer brakes (15k loaded) with no issues. Averages 15 or so with a one car trailer.

2007 Chevy 2500HD 6.6 Allison: gets around 16mpg on the highway with a trailer, can't feel a one car behind it.

1997 Chevy 2500 5.7 Gas Auto: Bleh, it pulls arright, kinda weak but the trailer doens't boss the truck around too hard.

2000 Ford F350 7.3 Deisel Manual: Cant feel a trailer but its loud as fuck stock and a pain to drive long distances, it was kinda cool though.

1996 Ford F250 7.3 Auto: I'd break my knuckles before buying this truck, Driving Kuahs around was so fucking gay. and it gets like 9mpg loaded.

2000 Ford F350 V10 Triton Auto Dually: sucks anus. the trailer weight isnt a problem but it gets like 9mpg without a trailer.

F150s are kinda dicks too imo, but I've never actually driven one loaded, only ridden.

Thats everything I've used. If I had to get a truck for a single car I'd get a 1500 Chevy with the biggest motor they had. If you're gonna pull an enclosed you'd want a bigger truck though.

Can't hype deisel enough if you can afford it.

I've never delt with dodge really, the deisels are retarded loud but could move a house if you wanted.

this is the most helpful post I've made on zilvia like ever.
