I have a 06 Duramax, It has been a good truck so far. I get about 18 - 20 MPG empty and about 13 towing a descent size trailer. If you can wait this long and afford it, the rumor is that GM is suppost to put the Duramax in the Sububurban in 08.

I was open to buying any of the big three's truck. As some of the other have pointed out stay from the 6.0 ford's I know a few people with the 7.3's and they have had no issues. The 6.0's have had tons of issues. When I was buying my truck a few folks told me that Dodge was coming out with a "dual mass flywheel" in 06 and to stay away from getting a Dodge with a hand shaker. They said the pre - 06 Dodge's with the hand shaker ( they said the automatics were okay at best ) were pretty built proof.

I personally bought the GM product because the motor has not had any real issues and there automatic transmission is the best in the business. I personally liked the interior of the Chevy better also. I tow only 6 - 10 times a year. If you plan on doing alot of towing I think a pre 06 Dodge with a hand shaker wins hands down. If you are looking to not shift gears and want some "creature comfort" the GM product is you best option.
