I have a 92 Ford F-250 7.3litre N/A diesel with 5 speed manual and 4.10 gear. 389,000 miles and still going strong. Daily driver, 19.5 mpg no trailer every tank. Pull 12-15,000 regularly(4-5 times a month in Kansas) get 13-15 mpg. Don't listen to the crap about only one true diesel being a cummins. They are a very good engine but not the only team on the field. I don't know enough about the new chevy and ford diesels to give my opinion. I do know I do not want an automatic trans to tow with. I do know enough that I don't want a dodge with an auto. Duals on a pickup that doesn't tow much or far is a waste of money. Been there and done that. Tandem duals on a trailer is a gas sucking piece of equipment. Triple axle singles will carry all you are equiped for in a 3/4 ton. These are my opinions from experience, others will disagree or argue about brandname. I wont get into color wars on vehicles. I know what works best for my aplication and go with that.
