| Either a Ford Transit with a 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 mated to a 6 speed automatic (most are 10 speed, avoid those) Or a Nissan NV3500 with a 5.6L V8 mated to a 7 speed automatic. Personally I'd go with the Nissan but beware of the fuel economy - it does like 13 mpg. Additionally consider a Sprinter, Crafter, and the Chevrolet Express. The latter can be found with a 6.6L V8 duramax diesel and a decent 6 speed automatic - it's also a very nice option. I think you probably can find a good 6.6L V8 Chevy Express / GMC Savana for cheaper than any other panel van. | |||||

| The above advice to try and score a Sequoia is solid. The Toyota twin turbo 6 is having some teething problems, but historically the Sequoia has been a great long term performer. I just personally bought a 2022 GMC Sierra with the 3.0 duramax. It’s only been out a few years (and mine only has 9000 miles on it) but the initial word is very positive (other than the rare crank-no-start issue). The fuel economy out of that motor is insane: 25 real world mpg in mixed driving, and I have gotten as much as 30 on the highway (700 miles on 1 tank). Diesel is more ... | |||||

| ... had they kept the V8, but they didn’t and the turbo-6 is having some teething issues (and real world economy is not very good). I looked seriously at all the half-tons except the Nissan, and decided that the 3.0 Sierra was the pick of the litter for my usage. 7500 miles so far, admittedly not a lot, without a problem. 30 mpg highway, 26 mpg commuting, 17+ mpg towing. Anyway, basically yeah, it’s a solid power train. So far. If I recall, the baby duramax just came out in 2019 (or ‘20), so there are not a lot of high mileage units in circulation outside ... | |||||

| ... and 2 more saying "Civic". But full size pickups? There is no consensus. The reason, I believe, is that there is not really a "one-perfect truck". Up until 2021, you could safely say Tundra (except fuel economy), but not any more. There are many good truck options (except Rivian, don't buy a Rivian) but none that don't have potentially serious flaws. For example, the Ram 5.7L hemi is a great motor, but the electronics are dicey. The Fords are mostly fine, but even though their Ecoboost series has improved they're still risky, and in the meantime owne ... | |||||

| Hey there! Welcome to the show. Awesome little truck by the way; I personally had an order on a diesel Canyon last December before GM cancelled it. If you haven’t seen it, Scotty did a mini review of the 2.8 duramax a couple years back... worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. It’s possible, maybe probable, that you’re right about the Nox sensor. Unfortunately that’s an expensive part. It also seems to be backordered nationwide so it might be hard finding one. A few thoughts in the meantime: If you haven’t already (and the dealer didn’t do it), consid ... | |||||
