OK, I know the smartest guys are in this forum so I need your help. I have a 5th wheel RV that weighs 21K and my last truck was a 02 F250 diesel. Had to get rid of that so I now need another truck. What do I get?? Chevy, Dodge or another F-Series? Gas or Diesel? I got almost 18 mpg on the Ford so I need to know on the others. What about the V-10???? Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you!

Thanks for your help. OK, let's think about getting a used truck. I really don't think the imports will pull that heavy of a 5th wheel. I love the way they look but I really need something to pull and stop. I travel up and down the California grapevine which is nuts. I was thinking a 93-2004 Chevy, 95-2003 Dodge, or 93-2003 Ford. Also been thinking about the V-10 but I don't know anything about it. All your help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try asking on the Silverado forum most of the guys go to that forum.

I know I am a little late on this, but my great grandparents had a Montana 5th wheel with 4 slide outs that they pulled through the mountains no problem with a 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6.6 liter duramax. We have a 2006 GMC with the duramax and it will pull up to 24000 lbs of dead weight. I'd go with that if I was you

Chevyalltheway, I really appreciate the heads up. I still haven't found a truck but I am in the market to get on really soon. Thanks for your advice.
