The new general motors turbo diesel V-8(Isuzu motor) is the best vehicle out there for hauling. 3/4 or 1 ton, there are not loud, smelly or slow. My Father-in-law did extensive research before he bought his last truck. The gasoline V-8 is merely okay, despite what is posted above.

If you are going to haul, you need a tranny and differential cooler, then you don't blow up trannys and burn the paint off your differential, unless you like spending money needlessly.

The Ford Power stroke is a headache waiting to happen, out dated motor that never was that great. The Dodges have had front end brake and ball joint issues, Cummins turbo diesel is a heckuva motor though.
