How Affordable are New Dually’s?

Found a video today where someone tries to answer the question.

I hope you enjoy it, I sure did.

Thanks!

  • The guy wants a dually with a gas motor to tow a 14,000 5th wheel? He could save money and not get the dually; a 2500 could get the job done for that little bit of weight. I would never buy a gas motor for towing purposes.

    He failed to mention the huge discounts being offered. My 2013 Duramax dually was $64k with all the bells and whistles but I got it for 12k off the sticker. A few weeks ago I was looking at Ram dually's with Cummins engines and they were stickered at roughly $73k with most bells and whistles but they were discounted 10k.

    I would purchase a Ram diesel before buying a GM or Ford gasser. However, when I purchased my Ford Platinum diesel I only had to pay $1500 more than the best price I could find on a Ram Laramie Limited and the Ram didn't have as many options as the Ford. I never looked into a GM at all. I would rather have options I don't need than want options I don't have. For that reason if I was on a budget I would buy a used Platinum before buying a new XLT.
  • Pretty much summed up my XL trimmed Ford and Tradesman trimmed Ram.
