Hey everyone!

New to stock racing and car is almost done. Plan on being on the track for the 26 season most likely. Going to be in the market for a used 1 ton diesel to tow my race setup. Not looking to cut corners but a new diesel isn?t in the budget. Currently have a 2023 Silverado 1500 with a 5.3 that struggles to pull my buddies 24? enclosed hauler with my stocker mustang. What would you guys consider to be a reliable high mileage diesel? It won?t be a daily just a tow pig for racing and transporting the car. More then likely going to get a 4th gen ram 6.7 3500 drw. Plan on purchasing a 28? enclosed trailer toward the end of the year as well hence the 1 ton dually. Let me know your experiences towing set ups and if I could possibly make due with what I have now.

Thanks!
Chris
