If I was in your position I would first try to find a truck/fiver combo from someone that is giving up for one reason or another. You can find some good deals like that. Try Escapes.
This^.
And the best timer year for these deals is Mar thru May when a lot of blue hairs finish their last snowbird trip.
Diesel pickup prices are sooooo skewed right now it isn't even funny. The old pre dpf ones go for way more than they are worth and brand new are over the top. But for some reason you can find almost new CC 4x4 Rams 2013-2014 with low miles for sub $40k but if you step up to a Laramie they are all $55k used. When you can buy new for the same price. Shop carefully and don't get sucked into paying too much.
FYI there's a cc 14 Ram diesel, tradesman 4x4 with about 10kmi on Seattle CL right now for $37k iirc. Good deal
I paid $39k for my Ram before TTD. New with full warranty. Sticker was right at $51k. It's fairly basic but it isn't a fleet truck by any means. Keyless, Uconnect 5.0 with bluetooth, power windows/locks, cloth/carpet, limited slip, brake controller, cold weather and protection, chrome and spray in bedliner.
I looked at used trucks by the prices on used Cummins or Duramax were just through the roof, so I went new.
