Hey everyone. New to the forum though I've enjoyed lurking for the past few months.
We're looking to purchase a travel trailer later this year. Will be be roughly 36 feet long, 9-10,000 pounds. I'm planning to trade up from my F150 3.5 L Ecoboost to a Ram 2500. Truck will be used to tow the trailer 5-6 times per year and will also be my daily driver.
Enter the chip shortage and inventory crunch!
My plan had been to wait until the fall and trade in for a 2500 gasser, though now I'm questioning whether there will be any 2500s around then with the specs I'm looking for. I've been in contact with a dealership nearby with a truck that's built the way I want, except it has a Cummins. They are obviously not wanting to budge off the MSRP (though they have been willing to come down 2,000), but have offered me an insane deal on my truck.
What do you think? Should I sit tight and wait until later in the year, or should I take advantage of my current trade in value and pull the trigger on the Cummins? I realize I'm asking you to use your crystal ball a bit, but any advice is appreciated.
