Any diesel camper guys?

Anyone pull a camper with their diesel??

Looking to buy a "slightly used" late-model 4 door crew cab this month, with the inevitable use for 5th wheel camper towing...

Anything to look out for and avoid?

yeah ford & dodge. lol

i would definately get a duramax, more hp and tq, better quality built truck than ford or dodge.

i would stay away from the ford 6.0 they have alot of problems. ive owned 2 one was a buyback 2nd one was lemon lawed. i now own a06 duramax. its a good truck. ford crew cab was bigger . dodge has a big mega cab if you dont need an 8ft bed

yes but is it nescessary to have all that wasted cab room? i mean it is a truck and trucks were made for hauling cargo, i personally think that an extended cab duramax has plenty of passenger room. bottom line is that a chevrolet/gmc is far superior in power/gas mileage and have a higher resale than ford or dodge. if your wanting room for hauling passengers buy a suburban.
