How about storage when you are not playing? Are you storing it home or do you have to pay to store it? Also, maintenance costs compared to the Dodge?? Nice set up!
I keep the truck and trailer at home, the ONLY reason I am selling my Dodge is I have flat run out of parking space. Tires on the Dodge last about 50,000 miles, the tires now on the HDT are near new and will probably dry rot long before I wear them out. The Dodge took 3 gallons at an oil change every 5,000 miles, the HDT takes 11 gallons at an oil change every 15,000 miles so its about the same other then the cost of oil filters. The cost of HDT parts in "most" cases aren't that much more then small truck parts and last MUCH longer.
IF the HDt is in decent shape when you buy it, over the long haul it will be cheaper to maintain.
