Can i get a powerstroke or duramax as a first truck? Im 18 and my income is $3,600 a month
You can do whatever you want
I think you need more variables to look at. Do you want a
New diesel truck?
Putting any money down?
Locked in financing through a credit union or bank?
Is your job stable?
Anyways took the bait made me post

New diesels are like 50K+ bare minimum these days
Was on a chevy lot and they had a loaded 2500 and it stickered for fucking 76K

>>13909305

Hell a decent half ton is 35k+ now. F150 platinums are msrp 58k.

Do you need to pull something heavy for long trips? If yes, buy a diesel. If no, the price markup, additional maintenance, and generally decreased longevity won't be worth any benefits you may see, when compared to a similar gas engine.

Big diesel trucks are really fun to dd OP. For about 3 months. Then you realize how fucking goddamn expensive they are and how impractical they are for noncommercial use.
For the same price of that truck, you could instead find a car or a smaller truck or suv that is fast, fun, has all the options you want, a nice trim, and will be way cheaper to maintain and way cheaper on gas, and will go WAY longer on a tank of gas. And still have money for modifications.
Just think about it

Why don't you just get a 7.3? Waaaaay cheaper and you have reliability. Hell you could get a 6.0 and do every mod you wanted to it and still come out cheaper than a new 6.7
To buy your first truck you need to be making at least $5200 a month. Sorry op.

Was it even duramax
gm is expensive now a fully loaded escalde is 95-97k
Got a lowered trim level stock duramax with 150+k miles on it for a decent price, resale value is still good, mpg that I get is +/- 1 to 2 mpg's to gas motors of the half ton variety. Driving a CCLB everyday isn't bad once you get used to it, but in a urban environment just know that there are things that are more of a PITA to do such as u-turns. If you are decent with a wrench maintenance isn't a bear, thanks to youtube and dedicated message boards.
