fxfymn Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 For a lot of us it would make sense to buy an older Freightliner FL50,60, or 70, or any one of the mid-sized trucks for less than $30K for hauling a fifth wheel or a goose neck, but then you get tied up in the whole "Do I need a CDL or not" dilemma.I paid north of $60K for my 2011 3500HD and I just don't see myself doing it again. Basically if you want a heavy trailer hauler they have got you; pay $60K plus or hope you can find something older that is not ragged out.

grayhair Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 $70K truck worth $50K the minute you drive it off the lot... And don't forget the sales tax of $5 or $6K, and the extended warranty for another couple thousand. Not for me.

jakebrake86 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The only new truck I ever bought was an '06 GMC Sierra w/t. Regular cab, 2wd, v6, 5 speed. $16,000. Everybody thought I was crazy for wanting a plain jane truck. I owed two notes on it when I traded it in on a 4 wd Tacoma. Dumbest thing I ever did.

Apple dog Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I would like to have a new plain Ranger. I axed Ford when they were coming back to the USA. The nice wimmin I think she was from Winfall said not anytime in the distant future. I have a '01 f250 extra cab with a 7.3 and 6 speed that I will not sell. Quote This is Mack country.
