A 2 year old Ram will give you years of reliable service as long as it has not been abused/neglected in it's previous life. Trucks are in demand and dealers don't need to discount heavily to move them especially diesel versions. They also don't want to stock base models when money making nicely dressed trucks are moving well. I can't see traveling to Baltimore or Florida then driving back saving you enough to make the trip worthwhile financially but that's your call.
We don't see 2500/F-250 trucks on the lots due to taxes. Passenger vehicles which include them over $55,000 are subject to a luxury tax thanks to our granola chompin' Prius drivin' socialist proviincial government, 3500F-350 are exempt so guess what the dealers order.
