Well just figured I’d post an update. Kinda made a few decisions, and we are currently dealing on a 2014 Ram 1500 Sport and trading in our 2015 ram 3500 dually. Actually did quite well and got 11,000$ equity in the dually. So essentially after the equity and putting down some cash we’re walking out of the door without a loan on the 2014 1500. Quite a nice truck has the 5.7 HEMI and 8spd. Although I haven’t driven a gas truck in probably 14 years I have to keep telling myself this is ALL I need. Will be an adjustment for sure.
Now! As for pulling the camper and boat. We have a 2007 ram 5.9 Cummins 3500 dually welding rig with a deck, air bags, exhaust brake and G56 trans. While not exactly a hot rod or a “limited” interior we felt as though having two duallies in the yard made zero sense. So for the 1 time a year we need to haul to the lake we’ll use the 07 to take care of that job. I have a gooseneck ball on the deck so I will have to upgrade my Montana pin box to the Reese goosebox.
We thought this was the best course of action rather than trying to find another Cummins that we wouldn’t exactly be thrilled with... 2009 blah blah. As a daily driver. So I think we’ll so this route for a couple years and then re-evaluate and look for a good used dually
