I own 95 Stroke'. 18 ft. sled with the 9'6" Lance camper on the back, lot's of power and no problems at all. 140K on the truck, manual tranny, only drawback is it's 2WD not 4. I won't say Ford, Dodge or Chevy, but I will say that diesel is the only way to go!!!
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff laugh laugh
