Feedback in Replacing SRW for a DRW

leo319 said:
I gotcha, thanks for the feedback. I have a smaller tacoma I use for daily driving so most miles on the dually will be towing.. There is this steep grade near the lake I frequently camp at, so I am looking at it as more than occasional towing. Happy to be here and be learning from you guys.

I noticed a 260 lbs less payload with the AISIN, is it really that much heavier or were other options included? I must say, you're starting to sell me on AISIN..

I'm stalling the deal I currently have right now (18k off MSRP) and considering ordering new with those options

Aisin is around 200 more and the transfer case is bigger too. BorgWarner 44-48 vs 44-46 (44-47 manual shift model) for the Hemi and SO Cummins.

You seem to easily take personal offense at someone stating a simple fact. Lighten up Francis.

Seams to me that we were both giving factual based info. Except my facts were based on factory specifications without mods. No reason to get yer panties in a wad Nancy.

Imop, i would wait for exactly what I wanted and not settle on one thing. It took me several months to get mine just perfect, wich was stressful, and I almost pulled the trigger a few times and i would always cancel the deal when they couldn't get it perfect. But it was definitely worth the wait to get the perfect vehicle for me straight from the factory and not need mechanical work done, just cosmetic changes to make it my own. I'm not gonna lie snd others will attest to, that I got quite stressed and riled up someday but it was worth it to get my dream machine. I also got around 14k off msrp, and got retail for my trade. Dealers can't stand patience, you'll win every time, just ask 1 fast hemi. It's nice to know now no matter what comes our way we have the capability to handle it.

I gotcha. Yeah, it makes it harder for me right now as i am in the middle of summer and hate the idea of having the camper and boat parked while i get 2-3 months for the right truck.. but i guess good things are worth waiting for. Not to mention, the gal who orders my trucks is only doing 9k off MSRP. When I compare those 9k to the 18k off from the now ready 2019 68rfe and 4.10 makes it much harder to decide...THIS IS HARD! lol
