If you want a the best overall out of the box right now you will have to go whith the Duramax. You want the best motor (sorry Ken) it is the cummins. You want a daily driver pull a trailer now and then you cannot beat the powerstroke pre 06.The cummins all day long with a trailer your going to get 13 mpg empty 5 spd you can get 22 by experience. Now the 97 is the best year for these 99 they did another fuel pump which last like 90 thousand and the poof expence..... The powerstroke with a decent size trailer, 10. Empty pushing 20. 06 and later you could give me one I would run it till the head bolts blew and then give it back. The 6.0 is junk. Back to the duramax the 01 No!!! then on they got the ducks in a row and well they have done very well for themselves out of the box. There is not alot you can do with them but out of the box they are the best overall. In a van you cant beat the powerstroke pre 06.Any other questions bring it on Baby!! rofl
