Another route to look at.

Let me know when my input on your topics is bothering you...
 
I will say my 2011 6.7 has been a great motor,
trailer is 21k, and with the banks tuner, foot is to the floor, from the time i leave and the time i got back,

Major issues with the truck
  1. Grab Handles are plastic and if the truck is lifted people pull on them hard and break them
  2. 2nd sunroof on the tuck, parts $150 but if the dealer does it, you are looking at 3k in labor,
  3. leaking o rings on the turbo drain back,
so far i am at 160,000 miles
NO drivetrain issue, truck sits on 37'' tires with 20'' rims

Best thing about 20'' rims is it is so easy to add air to the inner tires, the 17'' you can not get your hand in there,
Zone lift kit rides so SMOOTH with the front progressive spring, suspension is in the factory spot, i can drive the truck with one finger,
Added the titian 70 gallon fuel tank, this was the best option ever, no stress on finding fuel stations for 75' rig-trailer,

With 37'' tires, this thing does not get stuck in the sand, if floats like a sandcar, pretty easy to recover a car in the dunes, the rear tires make up for about 25'' of width, if i air down to 15lbs, the rear duals will touch each other and mobb in the dunes,

Mopar, we have had 1 truck, 4 jeeps 1 durango, seems like ever one had electrical issues, and a trans issue, but good for the female's to drive,
Chevy, I would never by a Ford 1/2 ton, use the Chevy for work every day works perfect for work
Ford, hated driving the Ford for work chevy is just a better half ton, 1 Ton for Ford all the way, ALL BIG RIGS use a straight axle, never had one issue with the straight axle.

I put one of these in my DMAX. It's awesome. I could drive from PHX to G and back without having to stop for fuel.
