Looking into a new truck here within a couple months. Im looking at all the new diesels and also the new tundra 5.7l. I would like to hear thoughts of reliabilty and issues you have or someone near you have encounterd owning any of these vehicles and their engines.

2007 GMC duramax 6.6l 365hp 660tq
2007 Dodge Cummings 6.7l 350hp 650tq
2007 Ford Super Duty 6.4l 350hp 650tq (seq. turbosystem) not a fan of..
2007 Tundra 5.7l 381hp 401tq, gas but great contender 10,800 tow.

I like the interior of the new GMC and Ford. I wish dodge had more options for cab and bed. I love the new tundra as well. But I still like diesel power and performance.

Thanks guys

Duramax FTW

My dad has an '01 Sierra 2500HD with the Duramax and Allison transmission. That truck is a monster. Tows our fifth-wheel like it's not even there especially with the "Tow-Haul" mode on the Allison. I don't remember the mileage on it but it's over 80k now I believe. The only thing he's had go wrong is one of the fuel injectors cracked and leaked diesel into the crankcase. Gas mileage dropped like crazy, oil pressure fluctuated, and you could smell the diesel when the truck was running. Took it to the dealer and got it fixed under warrenty since the Duramax is warrented to 100k. It would normally have cost 6k to fix due to the amount of work to replace an injector.

Oh and I forgot to add... the new Duramax has even more torque than my dad's. That has got to be sick.

I love the F-350, but you shouldn't be looking at any of those. Definately get the F-650.

screw the Ultra low sulfur diesels.... i havent even seen it at any gas stations in my area... if i was gonna get another diesel it would be an 05/06 Ram like my old one



but thats just me

They are at all gas stations that serve diesels, atleast down here. Look for it, should say on the pump. I like the 2007.5 LBZ gmc, but interior of the LMM. Guess you cant have your cake and eat it too...

I voted The GMC for sure, I think the new ones will be amazing(the last gen was already exc). My second choice would probably be the Toyota, my buddies neighbour has 30' travel trailer and a chev 1500 and a tundra. He uses the Tundra to tow, and it does a exc. job of it(the chev can do it if nec. but he uses the tundra almost strictly), fit and finish on the toyota is excellent. Really I dont think theres a bad pick on the list

I choose dodge because my dad drives a 2500 cummings turbo diesel.

Already have an H2. Im looking at the Sierra classic, I like that the duramax doesnt have all the emissions junk like the all new sierra does. But im sure there will be things out soon enough to delete all that.

thats the funniest **** i have ever heard. the ONLY h1 worth a ***** is the h1 alpha. DO NOT GET AN H1. all the other motors in those things sucked.

GMC hands down. GMC's are great trucks.

after the GMC, i'd get the ford as they make a decent diesel. as for the toyota, i don't know why anyone would buy an import truck.

Because that 5.7l toyota is far superior than any other in its class imo. It makes excellent hp and tq, and great gas mileage. Oh not to mention it tows more than any other in its class as well. Its an excellent truck with awesome safety features. All they need now is a diesel and they would dominate.

Not to mention the whole truck is built in the USA by american citizens from San antonio texas to Alabama....

ChocoTaco369

it's a new truck. let's see how the thing holds up. isn't the tranny a whole new design? what if it turns out to be a piece of crap? what if these engines have clearance problems like the V6's did with oil turning into sludge left and right by no fault of the owner? toyota to me is the standard of overrated.

an import truck, IMO, is like buying a hatchet to chop down a redwood. i don't care how things look on paper. i don't care what the factory tells you. history tells me america makes a better truck. history also tells me to support my own country. remember, ford employs more american autoworkers than EVERY foreign car company in the world put together. think about who you're buying from before you buy.

well if i had to buy one of the ULSD's I would have to go with the dodge, best engine (cummins historically, but maybe not the new 6.7 even though its derived from the 5.9), easiest to mod, best fuel economy, best axles..... In my option the Ford has the best interior and exterior styling, but its a truck so im a little more worried about the driveline than the rest of it ..... and i do know that it probably has the worst tranny, but youll have to change them all out if plan on getting big power anyway so thats not a concern IMO
