Guidance on tow vehicle
Hi all, I'm looking for some input from your collective wisdom on selecting a tow vehicle for my specific situation. We have 3 boys (4,7,9YO) and are looking to start doing limited camping next yea...

Chucksma, just know that most dealers appear to not move much off sticker price especially for diesels. Seems that way here in Seattle area. To me, paying over $50k for a stripped down crew cab diesel or over $60k for an optioned one, or $70 gulp thousand for premium trim is madness.
Imo, your situation only makes sense to get a new diesel if you go pick up one of the $40k models from one of the high volume dealers. Heck they all have power windows, locks, cruise, backup cam and touch screen Bluetooth stereo. Seems like a guy could get by with that for $20-30k less......
And if keeping for the long run, less gadgets to malfunction, wear out, etc.
Down the road, the options package figures in a lesser percentage on resale too.
