Bought a new camper. First one, hoping for some fun memories with the family and get back into fishing.
2016 Sunset Trail ST270BH. It's a beast, 30' and 5500lb dry. Going to pull it with Armada for now. Looking for a $10K 3/4 truck to have as a beater and trailer hauler. If anyone knows of any in good shape, let me know. Probably a big gamble for a 12 year old truck. Should I stick with gas or go diesel?

Yeah, they definitely are the best 1/2 ton to tow with! I just can't give up my car for my commute.
You can get a 2004 Ram 2500 5.7 4x4 with 4.10s that is capable of towing almost 11K. That's all I'd need. Then can use it for a 3rd vehicle, move furniture, dump runs, etc. Also can get a F-250 with the 5.4L. or the GM 2500HD with 6.0l. Needs the gears or they can't tow as much as the wife's Armada (9K).

For that price I think the Dodge would be a safe bet. Might be able to get an 06-08 f250 in that price range as well.PokerMunkee said:

This one gets my vote for now until I find a better one. I love the KR and V10

Anyone know anything about a 2011 F-250 6.2L?

190k miles on a 6.2L 4X4. What do you think? Does this year/drivetrain have known issues?

Going to look at the truck in a few hours. Window sticker: http://fordlabels.webview.biz/webviewhybrid/WindowSticker.aspx?vin=1ft7w2b68bec30062
Nicely equipped F-250 XLT. No body damage, just missing plastic piece on tail gate.
If it checks out good (A/C works, no leaks/rips) and drives nice on the highway at 70mph, I'm taking it home. Hopefully can get it under $8K. I think it's a safe gamble and will be a fun beater truck that will tow our camper.
