I posted in the new member introductions area, but I know that's not always a high traffic area.
I'm looking at a 2016 3500 mega cab dually with the HO engine & Aisin trans Laramie Longhorn with less than 21k miles on it. It belongs to a coworker that is very meticulous with his stuff and he bought it new. It is super clean and he says it even still smells new inside! I believe the only heavy towing he has done with it is a couple of local trips with his backhoe on a gooseneck. According to him, the only items this truck does not have from being completely loaded is the 3rd brake light camera and the factory rear air bags. I have the opportunity to buy it for $55k. I know that standard procedure for a newbie on a forum is to do lots of searches and put in my "due diligence" in researching and I intend to. That being said, I don't have a whole lot of time to make a decision. So, any help/input is very welcome and appreciated!!
I don't know the differences between the generations. All I know is the H.O. with Aisin is the real deal and the 68rfe can be problematic. That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge. I have no idea what's considered desirable and what's considered something to avoid.
Thank you in advance
