Best 3/4 ton diesel

Gonna be in the market for my first diesel truck. Probably used since these new trucks don't look as good to me as the previous ones. Leaning towards Cummins or Duramax.

2017 Duramax.

FWIW...
I am the driver for a local Diesel Performance shop, and I highly recommend that you take a prospective purchase to a reputable shop and have a VIR (vehicle inspection report) done on it before you sigh the papers. They should check everything from the headlights to the taillights including the fuel system, brakes, turbo etc. It should cost a little over $100.00 but would be well worth it.

I've searched on here and seen one of your posts in a simular thread. Good advise for sure but I will do that myself because of my background and equipment I have. I even have gap gauges that I'll check the body with lol.
