F-350 superduty

although, GM does have great incentives out right now,
$7000 cash back and 0%, something like that.

What ever you chose, i'm sure you will get a great deal, due
to the fact they cant give these truck away right now.

good luck!

is what it feels like at the gas pump!

I prefer having a 3500/350 dually. I do have a friend who trailers his 35 Zr with a crew cab 250 Super Duty and says he has no problems at all. I prefer the dual rear wheels for stability but it depends on how much you trailer and if you use the truck for other things

I have a 2500 Dodge Megacab with the new 6.7l and 6 speed auto. Had it for 10 months now with around 14k miles, my mileage has improved greatly, just got 18.5 mpg (hand calculated) on the last 900 mile trip over the 4th of July weekend. Towing up to 8000 lbs I'm seeing 11-12 mpg. Never liked Dodge in the past but I love this truck!

The 09 GMC duallies are looking sweet. And with the six speed Allison you know it's bulletproof. It will be overkill, which is good, right?

I tow mine with a Ford F-350 SRW 4WD, It has the 6.0 Diesel I have a crew cab with a short box. It pulls just fine. I haul from MI to FL 2 times a year and local hauls in between. Trailer makes a difference too. I'm pulling a myco aluminum tri axle.
