I pd $72,300 + tax for my '13 3905. The Epic pkg was supposedly free. Full body paint and pretty much had everything but the dual pane windows. It was one of the first '13s, took delivery 5-1-12 so the Epic 2 and 3rd A/C wasn't available. I've had some issues but much nicer than my '08 Fuzion.
No. I considered the newer Chevy with the beefed up frame but mine is paid for. I did a lot of research of the differences and the frame is the major upgrade with a little more power and slightly larger tires. My truck pulls it great with no frame flex that I can see or feel. It stops better than any of the trucks I've had with the aftermarket brake controllers. I've replaced the tires with the factory Michelin 235/80R 17. My insurance agent said they have no requirements for the particular specs as long as it's not ridiculous (like a 1/2 ton pulling it). They will represent me and I have a lot of liability coverage. Not saying it's the 100% right thing to do but I've seen way, way worse.
