New to the forum

I hadn't posted here before I started asking questions. Everyone have been very helpful to me. I have a 2014 Jayco White Hawk Summit Edition with the glacier package 27DSRB. At this time we tow our tt with my wife's 2008 Nissan Armada, I am looking for a diesel truck because my wife does not want me to use my 1991 Ford F250 which I also use for hauling gravel and plowing our private road.

Welcome to the JOF from Las Vegas, Nevada. If you go with a diesel truck just remember you will be adding DEF frequently and diesel fuel is more expensive. In our case, we have been getting better mileage with the Mercedes Sprinter diesel engine in our motorhome. The better mileage offsets the higher cost and the DEF is not very expensive.

Congratulations and welcome to the group! I agree with Norty - get out and buy that truck before she changes her mind!

I am looking at buying a 2005 to 2007 Ford F250 diesel truck, my wife won't sell her car so I guess I will have to sell my 2012 Nissan Xterra.

Well my wife won out keeping the Xterra for now just picked up a 2006 Ford F250 diesel so far really like it. Next week I will be setting up the equalizer hitch for the truck. I live on a private road which is very uneven so I will take it out to the county road which very level to set up the truck.
