It depends on the use of the the truck . If your looking for a family truck or full size I would have to go with a Chevy short bed crew cab. If your going for a small size pick up truck for a family then I would have to say a Toyota Tacoma crew cab long bed only because they seem to maintain a higher resale value. I do not know much about diesels. If your not going to be hauling anything in the future I would suggest a Chevy equinox.hope this helps. En.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Equinox
