Hi all, I have a '06 Ram 2500 5.9 6 speed that I love, but I've outgrown it. My wife and kids were complaining every time we went somewhere about the small quad cab. So it's time to upgrade. ...
With dealers giving $10-$15k off new trucks I wouldn't think about paying $60k for a used truck. I believe the GVW on the new 450 is about the same as a 350. You could get a new Ram 3500 drw 4x4 with Aisin trans and HO motor nicely optioned with the Tradesman package for around $50k. Ram has a 14k GVW and with 4:10 gears, it's rated to tow 29k lbs. And as others have mentioned, no insurance issues.
