He will want to go with the 7.3 liter PSD in a Ford. F250 or F350. If he is thinking "camper shell", he should consider the diesel equipped Excursion. It retains the solid front and rear axles and leaf springs for superior towing and dirt road driving, but has a much smoother ride than the pick up version. A diesel Excursion will also be cheaper than the truck. The Excursion has a 42 gallon tank and gets about 18 mpg if you keep 65 mph or under on flat terrain. The Ford truck part availability will be phenomenal in any remote location, as they are popular with farmers, loggers etc.
