Best Diesel Trucks to Buy in Tampa, FL — Dustin’s Expert Guide

Thinking about buying a diesel truck in Tampa Bay? Dustin at Lee Auto Group has sold hundreds of diesel trucks and knows which ones deliver long-term value for Florida buyers. Ram Cummins, Ford Power Stroke, or Chevy/GMC Duramax — here’s the honest breakdown. Call or text (813) 727-7168.

#1 For Reliability: Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins

The Cummins diesel has the best long-term reliability record of the three major diesel engines. Many Ram 2500 Cummins trucks exceed 300,000–500,000 miles with proper maintenance. If you want the diesel that’s most likely to still be running strong at 300k miles, choose the Cummins.

#1 For Maximum Towing: Ford F-250/F-350 Power Stroke

The 6.7L Power Stroke in the 2017+ Super Duty delivers up to 1,200 lb-ft of torque and tows up to 37,000 lbs (F-350 with 5th wheel). If you need to tow the absolute most — heavy equipment, large RVs, commercial trailers — the Power Stroke is the tool for the job.

#1 For Daily Drivability: Chevy/GMC 6.6L Duramax

The Duramax paired with the Allison 10-speed automatic (in 2020+ models) offers the smoothest diesel driving experience. It’s the easiest heavy-duty diesel to live with day-to-day while still offering exceptional capability (36,000 lbs towing with 5th wheel).
