Gpa looking for Diesel!!

[JMalmy21..00/7.3]

Gpa is retired and my Gma is about to retire. He has a 32 foot 5th wheel (just under 10K lbs) and is going to be driving it around the country stopping of anywhere for a few months at a time. Currently driving an I-FORCE Toyota Tundra. Wants to upgrade to a diesel for the towing ability. His current question is..... 7.3L? 6.4L?? or 6.7??? Doesnt want to spend a buncha money to upgrade in order to optimize his truck for longevity power and performance?? Suggestions???

low mileage 7.3 would suite him great im sure. find a nice 2wd dually crew cab long bed with low mileage.

:whs: 02 or early 03 F350 with a 7.3L, has a few interior upgrades from the 99-01s & they make good power bone stock.

6.7 ftw.

I tow my 31 foot fifth wheel 70mph fine all day with my 96 F250 7.3.

If money isn't a huge problem, 6.7 is the way to go. They'll have warranty all across the states and you won't have to modify it to have a solid truck

If its just them all the time a single cab 6.7 would be great.

:whs: Can't recline the seats, stuff things in the back. Shorter wheel base won't handle or ride as good. Really need a ext cab long bed or CCLB for long distance hauling.

If they dont like noise new truck might be better too.. 7.3s are not quiet

The inj solenoid clatter is about enough to drive old.folks mad.

FWIW, I would suggest a 6.4L or 7.3L. I would avoid a 6.ho leaker like the plague. Definitely an ext. cab at a minimum.

All these responses are fantastic. Ill get some more input from him and see how much more we can narrow this down. Thanks guys
