Do you have a preference on brand ?
I agree with the above...a 24 foot trailer needs a 3/4 ton or larger truck.
A couple of years ago I bought this 2004 F-350 Dually for $8,700. ( duallies are not for everyone but I needed dual rear wheels for stability)
It had 138K miles on it with the 6.8L V-10 gasser.
I Put $ 1,300 worth of new tires, brakes and (air bags on the rear) and am very pleased with it. ( so I have a tad over $ 10K in it)
Fully loaded with my 24 footer and slide-in camper it get 8.5 mpg consistently.
If you are patient, there are deals on gassers out there.
