Might be looking for a new truck toward end of this year, depending on how the tax projection goes. My 2014 RAM has been nearly flawless with about 78K miles. Yeah, I get the stupid "DEF service, 5 MPH max in xxx miles" message once in a while, but I just clear the code and keep on cruisin. For less than $45K, you can get a 3/4 ton RAM 4x4 with Cummins, 4 door brand new 2018 in the Tradesman trim. $400-$500 in leather seat covers, an upgraded radio head unit, and some other small mods and the truck is almost on par with the fancier trims.
For my money, this is the best value.
Just seems wrong to take a brand new work truck than go through all the nonsense to make it into a RV TV. It always cost but a few dollars more to go first cabin and in the lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng run it is worth it.
That's obviously one of those personal opinions that has no bearing on the "right choice". For me, I'd go small and upgrade. I don't need or want all the fancy features of the higher trims if the price difference is substantial. If the difference were only a few thousand, then I'd do it...but that's not the case. My TV gets about 95% of its use doing things other than towing the 5er, so luxury doesn't mean much to me.
