$25k Budget Diesel Truck Recs

Well, my old 6.0 Vortec's got a knock in the engine at 372,xxx miles and I need another pickup truck. My only needs are:
>Diesel
>4x4
>3/4 or 1 ton
>SRW

What recommendations do you fellers have?

>6.0 Vortec
Pick up another one at a scrap yard for $1,000-.

Diesels are shit tier for reliability and maintenance costs unless you get some old piece of shit that's falling apart around the engine. Even then, the LS will blow the doors off it in terms of performance and durability.

Ask yourself this. Do you need a diesel? Do you need the headaches associated with one? Do you accept a $100 oil change over a $40 one? $70 fuel filter replacements. I owned a vortec and switched to a dmax. Some days I regret it. Some days I don't.

>Diesels are shit tier for reliability

american diesels maybe.

>it's the eurocuck thinks his 1200lb shithatch diesel is comparable to an engine design to propel a 8000lb truck hauling 20klbs episode
lmao fuck off with your ignorant rerun

>$70 fuel filter replacements
CAT 1R-0750 - $15

>euro
fucking know what the fuck you are talking about clown.

Jap diesels absolutely BTFO american diesels. Isuzu's engines are literally the reason why GM has such high reliability ratings.

>an engine design to propel a 8000lb truck hauling 20klbs

lol, are you fuckin' stupid? the majority of the diesel trucks on the road in america that have that kind of towing capacity are cabover fleet vehicles that are of japanese design.
