ok gentlemen clue me in on the newer trucks and drive train options,
Im going to need to purchase a new or at least not more than 3 year old, full size truck, truck for my upcoming move,
and something I'll use for daily transportation at least for a few years, what's the best choice?
CHEVY, GMC,FORD? (I don"t think I want a dodge or nissan, honda at least from what I've seen and heard ,
as they are smaller or in the case of dodge I don't hear good reviews from current owners))
I want to purchase something with outstanding long term durability
I want a true 4x4 drive,
(all wheels provide power/traction when 4x4 is
engaged, not just two rear and one front tire))
crew cab truck, with a back-up camera, heavy duty cooling , heavy duty differential etc.
personally I prefer a manual transmission,
but an automatic with overdrive is obviously much more popular.

I really prefer GAS vs DIESEL, and obviously would prefer reasonable mileage, so tips on available drive train/engines would be great.
I will want air conditioning, and something bluetooth/computer compatible, sure would be nice,
ID need a heavy duty towing/ cooling package set up for a 2" trailer ball back-up/trailer lights etc.
for my car trailer

now Ive done some very minor window shopping and prices are insane,
but Im a bit less concerned with cost than I am with finding the most durable heavy duty trouble free truck with the least potential problems
what should I avoid, and what to look into?
 
Im thinking something like an f250 but open to any suggestions info/tips etc.
 
My friend totaled his F350 Deisel in October and is still waiting for his replacement truck so if you would happen to find something acceptable don't wait too long to make your decision they are few and far between
