Perfect. I planned on checking with my credit union first anyway.

I'm up by cloquet bout 30mins south of duluth. Any recommendations on dealers? I'll be trying the guys we know personally up here first but not against branching out.

Sweet. I will have to look into it.

Any known issues with these trucks, that are more common??

These things are pretty solid. From what I've read, avoid the larger 32 gallon gas tank as the lack of baffles in the tank causes quite a bump/noise when sloshing around. Make sure your driveline is free of any vibrations at speed--test drive it on an interstate. These engines should not be noisy in any way, so if you hear a large "tick" or knock on startup, move on to the next truck. Good luck--great deals out there right now!

Don't know if you qualify for the incentives but here is a 2017 very close to your budget and shouldn't be to far from you.

New 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn For Sale | Sauk Centre MN 3C6RR7LT5HG544360
That's a solid deal on a very well equipped truck. I bought my 2013 SLT v6/8spd CC 4x4 new for 29,400 with 1/2 those options (Hemi 8spds were hard to find then if not way overpriced). I would've gladly paid 4k more if I could vs adding it later.

Also, a lot of the vehicle Electronics (and transmission to 8 spd) changed in 2013+, so it's almost like a 4 & 1/2 gen.

That is a nicely equipped truck but I hate when they use the wrong stock picture. Some people might see the picture in that link and think it's a sport being sold when it's really a big horn lol
