A 2500 is a 3/4 ton pickup. I don't think a half ton pickup, whether an F150 or GMC 1500 or Ram 1500, will cut it. I work with Cummins engines. If you are looking at used, several years old, fine. If you are looking at new, check the recent history after the emissions controls were added.

Right, my mistake. I'm looking at the older models. But how old are we talking here? I'm looking at nothing older than late 90s. I can pick up a Cummins 2500 Dually for something like $6,000 on Autotrader. Sheesh.
I can't afford the new ones, anyways - way too expensive; especially for a car I'll only use a dozen times a year.
What would you recommend? I would like something that's somewhat built well on the interior in addition to a bulletproof drivetrain (so, basically, not a Ford unless I could get a screaming deal on one). I'm thinking either Chevy or Dodge. Thoughts?
