Looking to buy a new 3/4 ton pickup with Diesel. this will be my first diesel so I'm not sure what brand to buy. Usually I'm a Ford guy but want to hear others.

My son-in -law has a moving business and he's had Ford and Chevy. He says Ford is the strongest and holds up best. I have a friend that has a Ram Diesel and he likes his although his pump for the additive stopped working and it's 3000.00 to fix it. My son has a Ford Diesel 3/4 ton F250 2018 or 19 and he loves everything about it but the fuel mileage.

Do you have your second mortgage paperwork all done yet? Cause it's like buying a house with no kitchen or bathroom.

If I was buying a new diesel truck it would be another Ford replacing my 24 year old F250 7.3L but she's still strong with lots of life left.

Pick you poison. Try are all more or less the same now with different features and badges. Pick the one that has what he wants and that's it.

I loved the torque of my “bulletproofed” F350 6.0 but dang the cost of upkeep and fuel ; never again unless for work and I’d still consider the new Godzilla motor turbocharged . 7.3 Godzilla (put a turbo or 2 on this one and WOW) . Honorable mention? (Only 3/4 ton truck I’d buy new).

I wouldn’t get a modern emission controlled diesel with DEF
Unless you tow . A lot .

Cost a bundle for the upcharge from a gasser , and then the oil changes cost a lot more and the maintenance and repair costs are off the chart compared to a gasser .

We have F-250/350/450/550's, Chevy 2500's, and Ram 2500/3500's at work. Based on my experience driving all of them, lasting the longest, putting up with abuse, AND seeing the recalls, Ford with the 6.7 diesel engine is the way to go.

Just drive down the interstate and count how many company work trucks are Fords vs everything else.

Best answer. If you don't tow, like daily, then it's such a waste of a truck. I ain't talking about towing a bass, or ski boat. I mean real towing.
