I bought my first new vehicle this weekend, 2020 2500 Cummins this weekend. I've always owned Ford half tons except for a late 90's Dodge that absolutely turned me off the brand for life. Last Spring I needed a truck and inventory was thin, after passing on other makes they had in stock there were a few new body 1500 Bighorns with ~10k miles on them. I finally told the salesman "fine I'll test drive your crappy Dodge truck." We weren't 100 ft off the lot and I told him to get the paperwork ready. Absolutely loved that truck, but we've got a 33' 6,500 lbs TT that about at the upper end of it's capability and a 7,000 lbs boat with a straight tongue trailer that I was paying a guy to move twice a year when we took it out of the slip for the winter. With the vehicle market being out of whack, I ended up selling the 1500 Bighorn for a decent profit and getting a 2500 Cummins Laramie at a fair discount.
Only downside? Day 4 and I just dropped it off at the shop for 2 warranty claims, 1 of which makes it non-operational. Otherwise, it's been an outstanding truck for the past 3 days! Just a bump in the road I am sure.
