3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations

Im looking to get a new 3/4 ton pickup 4x4 for pulling a 18’ to 20’ trailer. Can you recommend what in your opinion is the most dependable and reliable truck

If money is not a big factor, Ford 6.7 diesel all day long.

Guessing money is a factor though. How often do you pull the trailer? The 3/4 ton gassers are capable but gas mileage is atrocious. If you don’t pull all that much you might consider a 1/2 ton. Better on gas and a cosy ride. I have an f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost and it’s quite capable when I need to pull the camper.

If it has to be a 3/4 and you pull a fair amount the ford 6.7 will serve you well. If you need all the off road bells and whistles get a tremor.

I've been a GM guy my whole life, but we have 3 duramax 3/4 tons (2016-2019) in the family and 2/3 have had repetitive and expensive issues with the DEF systems. If you get or have one my non-professional opinion is keep the DEF tank over half full all the time. Several problems with the DEF tank heaters have occurred when DEF fluid was lower. One of these 3 will be getting traded for a Ford diesel real soon.

Popcorn ready?
Ram 1500 with 5.7Hemi will do everything you described easily. I have 2009 Ram2500 I bought new, 2nd Ram 2500 since 1997 so bern good.

Butter flavored salt my favorite on popcorn, yours?

I have a F -150 2.7. The issue is that i want to carry my Yamaha 450 I use it all the time when coyote hunting. With the ATV and tongue weight I exceed my gross weight. That's the reason for the 3/4 Ton.

Money isn’t an issue Im out six months a year.
