I dont know if you want to go as old as the 2nd generations (98.5-02) but these are some very reliable and powerful trucks. My 99 only has an intake and exhaust and Il beat alot of my friends fords with programmers and my truck has never left me stranded or let me down. I cant say the same for my friends with d-maxs. Im not as familiar with the newer dodges, but I get about 22mpg around town and around 26 on the highway. Dont get me wrong, all three are good trucks, but the Cummins is definitly the all around best

If you go with an older truck I would recommend trying to find one in AZ, CA, NV or other dry places. I dont know where you live now obviosly but here in WI with the salt in winter and the rain rust is a HUGE problem. The drier climates are way better on used trucks.

Maybe not West Texas, but I went to school in Central Texas, and we got some pretty fierce rain. And East TX is about as humid as anywhere I've ever been.
