Bought a dually for a daily driver

Wanted to consolidate 2 vehicles into one so save some money and wanted to make sure I had the truck to handle not only my current RV but looking at a toy hauler.
It’s definitely taking some getting used to but it’s doable. Lost some fuel mileage which is a long term concern (I drive about 30k a year).
Got a decent deal and it checked all the right boxes. I stepped down in trim package from my last truck but it’s got ventilated seats and in Houston it’s awesome. Didn’t have any of what I consider wasted money options (sunroof, chrome package, etc)

It’s a 2018 Ram built in 7/18 (literally off the transport) and sticker was 73.5k and I was out the door at 60k. No taxes cause both my trades exceeded the cost of the truck. So just tags and title. I got 50k for my 2016 Ram that I paid 55k for almost two years ago and 15k on my 2017 minivan that I paid 23k for 18 months ago. Super surprised at getting so much on the van. I’m going to miss the fuel mileage of the van but not two insurance payments and tags etc.
