Truck Pricing and COVID-19

[HDGoose]

I got my 2020 for what I was trying to get a 2019 for two months prior. And it is nicely equipped with what I like.


Just remember, the upper end trucks may have less payload capacity. My 2020 RAM 3500 diesel 4x4 dually Tradesman only has a payload of 5400. Which is fine for us. Wife and I and a cooler only adds 400 pounds. And every toyhauler we are looking at is under 21k. The ones we like are under 16k.

Ours weighs 16K fully loaded, so going high on pin weight is around 3600. Wife, kid, dog and additions should be well less than 1000 lbs.

It will be nice not to have to worry about inching by on weight.

It is amazing what a 4ft (or so) forward movement of the hitch point does to stability AND manoeuvrability...

(Put as much weight as you can on the steer axle for better ride quality)
