Tow Vehicle, what should I get?

[JeffYoung]

Don't overlook the Cummins! Yes, the engine is better than the truck, but the truck ain't that bad. Tranny issues and balljoints are the big items, but they can be solved, and the Cummins will routinely run 250k no issues. Hell, easiest way to solve the tranny issue is to get a manual, which is fun to drive.

Early 2000s models are in the 8-9k range. They will tow a house.

Here's a local example, with 100k, and for about $9 grand.

Look for an older Dodge 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel. You won't even know the trailer is behind you. I have a 1998.5 4x4, crew cab and when I towed up to Portland in 2003 with a dual axle open trailer, I got 18 mpg.
