Hello all, I am new to the forum and I am looking for a 1 ton dually to pull a 5th. I am looking for a used truck, I will pay cash, no more than 20K. I like all 3 brands but have no experience in the diesel world. Ive heard the rumors about the Ford 6.0, but also i heard about bulletproofing them as well. Basically i'm open for all options and opinions. I would just love to stay around the 20K mark. I also would like something that I wont have to be worried about being stuck on the side of the road either.
Question to the OP, what are you looking at carrying/pulling with the used/new to you TV?
Gen 2 Rams top out at 11,500# GVWR.
Gen 3 Rams top out at 12,200# GVWR.
Gen 4 Rams up to 2012 top out at 12,300# GVWR
Gen 4 Rams after 2013 top out at 14,000# GVWR
Just food for thought.
I was looking at the 2018 Chaparral 373MBRB
Nice Rig! 13,000 UVW and 41 feet! Very nice... I would say you need a late model vehicle to pull that, but I haven't researched it. You will want to look at the GVWR of the truck and make sure it's over 24,000lbs maybe even up to 26,000lbs. Happy Hunting!
