I am a big Duramax fan but as mentioned they command a good premium and IIRC the early/mid 00s commonly suffered injector issues which is an expensive repair if not already done.

I think the gas 6.0 Chev/GM is a reasonable engine but fuel economy sucks. I'm not sure how much of a difference there would be in economy between it and the big 8.1, or even the Ford V10 for towing purposes. I know a guy with the Ford V10 and I am pretty sure he said it didn't matter whether he was towing his RV or not, he always got around the same fuel economy.
e: Might have a tough time getting the big engines in a good truck for $5K. Sorry, forgot about budget.

What about a chevy express van? You can get one with a 6.0 and they always seems to be cheaper than the trucks of similar age/mileage. You said it was for a business so maybe a van would be more useful than a truck anyway?

Looking to take my business on the road in a 6000lb fifth wheel.
Vans are notoriously awkward to hook up to a fifth wheel hitch.
