We are considering a Dodge as well. I found a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500 Truck Crew Cab with less than 40k miles on it. It has a 5th wheel hitch in it and it looks great. Thoughts on this truck? The price is under $40k

sounds like my 2010 3500 megacab SLT Big Horn 4x4 SRW except a crew cab which I bought new from Dave Smith Dodge for $44,600 ($52k window sticker) before CA tax and licensing. Seems price is high for a 6 yr old truck. BTW have 57k miles on ours now.
