Default Might be trading in my armada..
After towing around a 6500lb enclosed trailer over the past week moving houses, I am considering trading in my 04 armada (w/ 53k miles on it already) for an 05 f350 dually w/ 6.0L turbodiesel.. Anybody have any opinions on these trucks or heard any negative things about them, etc? I've been driving one over the past weekend and to work today and I love it.. Plus hauling shit all weekend with it was very nice in comparison to the armada..

Here's a pic of the truck:

drove one at the dealer a couple of months ago, those things are monsters. i'm sure it'd tow mostly anything you throw at it.

I have a 2005 F350 SRW with the 6.0L Diesel and love it. It's a great truck.

I drove my dad's 9 hours yesterday to pick up a hood for my car, I freaking love it. The only downside is that the 6.0 is slower than the previous 7.3. And I got 19 mpg on the trip.

I've heard the same thing. I've also heard that Dodge is getting Caterpillar diesels in a couple of years as well.
