This is pretty good stuff and accurate for the most part in a attempt to save the op from immenent doom. My summary thus ,for him , dont buy a navigator ,dont buy any land rover,dont buy a ford diesel(even with the IH 7.3), unless the local ford store actually still has a decent ford tech.
The silverado with awd and 410s pre vcm is a good value
the dodge cummins is good, the rest of the truck stastisticaly will fall apart around it, can be handled by the savy d.i.y.er though. Even the diesel stuff is easy on those.
The 7.3 injectors ,injector cups ,wiring,oil leaks can make many peps feel good about that 1.60 a gallon gas he have going on now
