I have been a Toyota man for years with a few hundred thousand miles of flawless service. My business is callling for me to have a bigger truck and I would love to use Biodiesel. I have never spent over $10,000 for a truck and it seems as if I will have about $25,000 to invest in a new one (new to me). This is a huge amount for me as I start my business in a new direction. I want to know which years would give me the best bang for my buck. Thanks for your input.

02, ops i'm biased. the one you can get the best deal on, get the vin and have it checked so you know its history, and drive it like you stole it before you buy it, to see if anything shows itself out. good hunting

I love my 02. I bought it with 130k, had the vin checked and has never had injector problems. I stole it for 18,500. I will never own a truck that isn't a diesel agian. I have officially converted.

I have heard 01 (the first year Max/Allison) had some problems with the Allison transmission,but I dont know what that was. But I usually stear clear of the first model anything.
