PS. They came long way since my 92CTD and 01 CTD.Still both running.
You will love it!
53K out the door for a Tradesman must have include 5 or 6K, or more in sales tax and other fees?
Have to agree with Cummins a bit on gears. The AF 32M has a 16,500 GVWR and the truck with 3:42 is rated to over 20K 5th wheel and 23K with 3.73.
It will be interesting to hear reports on towing. My 3:42 towing just under 16K 5er and combined just over 24K tows nicely with 6th gear locked out at 1750 RPM at just a tad over 60 MPH. 1750 RPM is a nice sweet spot for the newer 6.7's.
Freeway cruising with the 3:42 gears is great coming for 14 years of 4:10's in our 2001.5 RAM.
