Second would be a Dodge Ram with the Cummins.
If it's the Ford with the 6.0, run, don't walk as far away as possible even if it's VERY cheap regardless of how much bullet proofing they claim has been done.
Also just know that most any 10-12 year old diesel truck will have LOTS of miles on them, not that it hurts the engine, but the rest of the truck is just like any other, things wear out.
Stay farther away from the Ford 6.4, it's much worse than the 6.0. 6.0 can be made very dependable with the proper "Bullet proofing. 6.4 not so much.
