So I am looking for a truck similar to this one to replace 2 trucks and have some questions mainly motor wise. I missed this truck by one day. it was an 05 with a 8.1 and only 110K miles for $16k which I thought a tad high but truck was very well kept from the pics and a local one owner.

I am assuming motor options are 6.0 gas 8.1 gas and 6.6 diesel.

I will be possibly pulling my 30' goose neck trailer as well as a 20' bumper pull trailer (at different times of course) I am also thinking of a snow plow on the front as well.

Pro's and cons and any particular year I should stay away from? I have run a 6.0 before and feel it would be ok and probably a lot better fuel mileage than the 8.1 but I have no experience with the 8.1 or the 6.6 diesel.

Thanks
Richard
