From Tundra to which 3/4 ton

Just read the whole thread. FWIW, I just (3 1/2 months ago) traded my 2011 Tundra for my current truck, 2014 Ram 3500 Megacab Diesel. I know you are not looking for a diesel, but for what you are looking to spend on a 6.4 Hemi in NJ, you may be able to get a diesel in NC. If you haven't yet, try Kernersville Dodge, That where I got mine from. Long story short, they took my trade for $500 more than anyone in NJ, delivered the new truck to me on a flat bed free of charge and took the trade on the same flat bed.
I got a great deal on my truck, dealers in NJ would not even touch it, they all said it was impossible or a bait and switch...
PM me is yu need/want more info.
The same tradesman you are looking for they have for $34K, plus, they have A LOT of '14 they need to get rid off. They just sold a truck to someone on the cummins forum for $14.5K off sticker. Worth the try.

EDIT: I can't find a way to edit my profile. I am in Union NJ

Yeah, I checked them out....they have some great prices and they will deliver up to 500 miles for free. they have a ton of trucks! but they did not have anything in the tradesman trim that had the electric shift on the fly transfer case (a requirement for me) to make use of the front thrid seat.

they also didn't have much with 4.10's....most dealers don't! I would say 98% of the trucks sitting on the dealer lots are 3.73's and I'm starting to wonder if I really NEED 4.10's given my trailer weight of ~ 7500 lbs. IF 3.73's are any option for me it opens up a lot of options locally as well.

everyone says get the 4.10's but it seems they are towing much heavier than I. and while I seriously doubt I will go larger with the camper I'm usually an "overkill" kind of guy which is what brought me to the 6.4/4.10 combo.

heck I would probably be fine with a 5.7 and 3.73's since I've been way happy with the tundra 5.7 power (although it does have 4.30 gears)
