Looking between 2008-2013 but am open to suggestions about what to look into if it’s capable (Ford, Chevy, GMC, Ram). I know there were some problem years in this range for all of them so feedback on what to avoid would be appreciated as well.
Must haves:
4x4
Crew or Mega Cab
Diesel
Prefer SRW and 6.5’ bed but definitely willing to DRW and 8’.
Also looking at Anderson Hitch.

There are good used trucks out there. I just traded in an 2016 F350 Diesel SRW Platinum long bed for a new 2018 F350 SRW Long Bed Diesel. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it other than I just wanted the new body style.
It only had around 30k miles on it, performed all maintenance as required to include filters, oil ,air, fuel .etc... it pulled my 40ft Alpine as if it wasn't even hooked up. One feature that I really liked was the exhaust brake when descending long steep grades.
Good trucks are out there, you just need to look .
