Nice dually! have you towed with it yet to have an idea of how much better it is than a SRW gas?

If' your wanting to fix something up you might find a Toyota Hybrid SUV that needs a battery replaced (EV battery) and is therefore selling for very little. Put in new battery and enjoy a solid hybrid SUV.

The big tank is all about how the truck would be used. High speed utah freeways with a trailer = bad MPG. Not wanting to fill up often with a trailer hooked up. When not planning an adventure i would likely keep the truck low on fuel. I just don't want to run out of gas no matter what...

So that power wagon package really hits the GVWR and Payload figures; makes it like a half ton capability wise. For my needs i would have to pass on that as cool as the double lockers and winch stuff is. The market seems to have at least 80% Cummins powered rams and i think i would need to...

F150 you might have to replace timing / phasers about once in its lifetime and the overall upfront cost is higher than Ram/GM. The ecoboost engines are pretty durable outside of that. I imagine if you take good care of it you probably wont run into that issue for a long time. Also Ford's...

You can also just find and bid on a hail damaged car on like co-part. Usually, and especially in Utah, rebuilt titles are no where near discounted as much as they should be. I don't even consider looking at a rebuilt title anything.

V6 Pentastar Grand Cherokee seems pretty cheap down there too, this ones 2wd but hey less to break and its Florida:

"He lives in Florida," Not sure why but Florida has some of the biggest GM truck discounts advertised in the nation. like 15-20k off a Silverado 1500 LT for example. With that low of a price, and the 2.7 warranty, how can you go wrong?

SUV vs Truck, IMO you get more resale value in a truck and often a better discount at purchase. I love a good SUV and still drive my 05 Escalade but its worth half what a comparable nice condition 2005 sierra / silverado is today. Also just my opinion: People want reliable over features. If...

So the new Ram warranty is 10 year 100k powertrain for the First Owner only sorta like Kias, so you gotta buy new and a 2026 to get it.

The GM 2.7 has a longer warranty and does not exhibit chronic problems with lifters and mains like the 6.2/5.3 can. The 3 liter duramax is showing some repeat issues as well. The latest GM 8 speeds don't seem to have as many issues either but no where near as good as the ZF transmissions. I...

If you are talking about GM half tons right now the only one i would buy is the 2.7. It seems to have the fewest issues and you get the 8 speed auto that is mostly fixed. Also the Ram half tons are quite nice and incentivized and you can get the ZF transmission that wont let u down.

Today i learned you can get the full power wagon package on a tradesman. That things advertised at a price of $56k. It wouldn't give me my dream 50 gallon fuel tank though. What a bargain for a new offroad truck.

There's tons of smart people on here and i welcome everyone's thoughts and opinions. This forum is probably the least brand biased source of information about such a topic.

Laramie package, and this makes the gas option much more rare. The other option is to get a tradesman/bighorn and buy Katzskin leather for about $2k. Once you get into a Laramie level the diesels are less of a price jump due to heavy incentives. It's a real snowball from basic gas truck to a...

From my perspective and research any issues with the Hemi 6.4 / lifters could be prevented with short oil changes and not idling. With good care it would have to be a defective engine and that would be picked up inside of the 10 year warranty. If it somehow blew up at year 11 and i had to...

There would have to be budgeting for the next gen valve body upgrades for a GM. I'd probably want to swap it out at like 20-30k miles. One way i like to gauge reliability in cars is the junkyard prices of like an engine or transmission. Ram's 8HP75 you can get used for 1k or less. A GM 10...

Did you see the new ones have a real column shifter too! You might find the right deal to trade up they way used prices vs new ram discounts work.

I'd love a mega cab but you have to buy the Lariat trim, and they only come Cummins, then you spend for the aftermarket fuel tank, and your talking about a $90k msrp and maybe 78k sales price. Probably $2k for the fuel tank upgrade installed. $80k vs like low-mid 50k for a decently optioned...

Gas has come a long way, and with an intact diesel emissions system at best you can hope for 20% better fuel economy. But most of the year diesel costs 10-20-30% more sometimes, and your other expenses add up fast. Just the oil filter for the new Cummins is like 50-75 dollars! The cummins...
