should I get a 6.0 gas or duramax?
In the market for a truck but Im not sure if I should go gas or diesel. Either way itd probably sit quite a bit bc I have a trans am for daily driver in the summer. Truck would be used for pulling a 20ft gooseneck with a skid loader or 10,000lb tractor at most. What do you guys suggest? any particular yrs to look extra hard at or stay away from?

Def dmax not only for tq purpose but fuel mileage too. If u have to tow or even drive the 6.0 3/4 ton much it will drink the gas like no other. I am sure they are lil more economic in the half tons but towing and mileage it's almost not even a question when comparing. Although maintainence might be higher but will level out in long run

You'd probably end up paying someone to beat some sense into you if you bought a 6.0 truck for towing a 20 foot gooseneck... I wouldn't say the 8.1 is a good alternative either, because it does not get the same mileage as a 6.0... Regardless, hook a trailer up to either one and they will suck down the gas. Diesel FTW if you plan on extensive towing.
