Another new guy! Sorry, y’all! Really looking for recommendations from the crowd who knows these trucks well. Aware of the infamous exhaust manifolds and rear window leaks. And know to look for Carfax / service records. Seems half of the trucks I’m finding are northern trucks with noticeable rust under it. Maybe I should pay $1k and have a truck shipped from the South. Truck needs to occasionally tow the boat 3-4 hours.
Long story short, goal was to find a $40k-$43k, 50k-75k mile 5th Gen Limited (or loaded Laramie). But now I’m thinking it’s smarter to decrease that by $10k… have a hard time justifying $1k+ monthly on total truck cost. And at $45k, that’s close to a new Big Horn.
Today I almost pulled the trigger on a 2017 BH that had 95k on it for $25k (had the hemi tick but would be a low payment). Leather would be nice since I have toddlers.
Did they make a BH package with the heated/ventilated leather? And is it worth it to go from a 17/18 model to a 19/20/21 for a few more thousand? Seen some great deals on a 17/18 Ecodiesel but heard those (pre-3rd gen) were full of problems.
