Are you buying new or used?
If you are buying new, you can get a great deal on a Ram tradesman with the 6.4L or a Ford XL with the 6.2L. They are great engines. I don’t mention Chevy because their interiors are not as nice in my opinion.
Then you will have lots of cash with a tradesman or xl to customize your truck. Seriously $10000 cheaper than a bighorn or XLT.
Also, If you get it cheaper, then that way when you decide you need a one ton like me. You won’t be out as much cash. Other thing is these gassers are much cheaper to operate than a diesel and if you buy a diesel you need to have the cash to deal with maintenance and repair costs that are way more expensive. The fuel cost difference right now is just ridiculous.
No payback buying a diesel even though I just bought an 2018 Ram 3500.
