Your towing rigs and trailers

[Diamondpilot]

New tow rig for me! Found a left over 2015 Ram 2500 crew cab 4x4 Cummins today. It's a Tradesman package with lots of extras. Super happy and got an amazing deal. If anyone's interested they have 2 more just like it (black and cherry red).

How in the world do they still have 2015's on the lot 2 model years later?

I'm curious on what kind of deal you got?

Dealer out here has several 2015 Superdutys on the lot.

Check,
Yes I built those landscape ramps heavy enough to load my tractor or a vehicle. I've pushed a full size ford can up them with the tractor with no problem.

Really don't know. This is one of the big volume dealers and I think they buy other dealers old units. They had the one I got plus 2 more identical except for color. Sticker price was 51,350. After the negative equity from my F150 (about 8000 worth) the sales price was still just under $40k so I essentially paid right at $32k for just the truck. Right at $20k off the sticker price. And I still get the full 3/36 bumper to bumper and 5/100 powertrain warranties effective yesterday.

Like I said, the '17s are being ordered so they are wanting to deal. If you even think you may be interested now is the time.

That's a smoking deal.

I wonder why you have so much negativity equity in your F150? My 2012 Supercrew FX4 EB has 73,800 miles and I was just offered $27,300. I only paid $36,000 in September of 2011.

Don't really know. Maybe since mine was just an XLT (with leather, 4x4 off road, etc) or maybe it's just the market in this area. Used diesel trucks are selling at or above NADA in this area so maybe it's just market conditions.

Well, it's been about a month with my truck. I have about 2500 miles and have averaged just a bit over 12mpg hand calculated. All mixed driving . Highway on the way to work, some backroads on the way home, and local driving at home. I also towed my first big load today. I have towed much smaller loads with it (<6000lbs) and it has done good. Today I towed one of our CTLs. Total weight of skid steer and trailer was just under 14,000lbs. The truck handled it and stopped it well, but definitely borderline on the power side. Definitely happy with the truck. It gets used on my jobsite every day, and 4x4 every time it rains so it is definitely getting worked, but not abused. Kyle

My new towing rig, 2016 Chevy 2500HD and a 2016 Rollback trailer got a lot of questions and comments on the trailer and any feed back will be appreciated.

Sweet trailer. What's the unloaded weight? What is your truck rated to pull?
