ive been looking around as well, i think RAM is tanking a bit in the updates, but also there pricing is becoming ridiculous. I tried to order a truck but was told 16 months, and i had to settle on alot of basic missing features on my build. My buddy gave me a 24 LTZ loaded dually from his lot to drive for a weekend to get a feel for it. I have to say GM/Chev have nailed the interior..... finally. The cab is definatly bigger than my laramie, and the digital screens are excellent. I will say however the seats SUCK! similar to sitting on plywood. I also had a look at a F350 Lariat dually, didnt get as much seat time but took it for a good drive, also a nice truck. still a bit plasticy though for my tastes, seats are excellent and huge cab. the 6.7 felt great as well. But Ford being Ford they were quite a bit more expensive than the Ram/GM
i dont know what the answer is on these bloody things, the cost of these things is getting out of hand, i can get into a med duty peterbilt or kenworth for this money. Ive said it before but soon enough well be thinking we've recieved a good deal when we drive off the lot in a 120,000$ tradesmen. I paid 94,000$ for my 5500 laramie in 2022..... for the same truck in a 3500 2024 iam 98,000$ with a less than desirable interest rate. The Ford was 110,000$, and the GM 96,000$ And what i cant come to grips with.... is in May my 5500 was valued at 80,000$.... and now there saying its only worth 60... 20k depreciation in 2 months? i know dealerships are snakes but come on.
