This truck is not for you. I would say the same thing regardless of make or model. If you have to ask how much something cost to own or to fix you can not afford to own it. If you are scared before you had a problem you may not survive if you do incur one.

Buy another Chevy LBZ, they are just like the other brands of diesel pickups, on used car lots all over the place. Bet with a little looking you can find a real nice low mileage truck that fits your needs and you are comfortable with. I will never buy another new truck, there are just way too many lightly used diesels available, especially trucks coming off of lease.

I have a friend of mine that has a shop where the border patrol trucks come in to get serviced.
He makes the most money when it's a 6.4 L Ford.
Take that as you wish. That's what the guy told me, and he has no reason to lie to me.
