I know there are a few guys here that are car dealers, so maybe someone here can help.

I'm looking for a truck. Just sold my 06 CCLB Chevy LBZ Duramax and I'm regretting it. Need to upgrade to a dually for towing a 33' toyhauler travel trailer with a SXS and an 800# quad in the bed of the truck. Here's what I'm looking for:

07 or newer
1 ton dually or bigger medium duty
Less than 100K miles
If Ford, less than half that and NO 6.0's
Crew Cab
Leather
Prefer white, grey, or silver
4X4
Have a budget of $32K or less
Fairly friendly for daily driving, so no 4:56 or 4:88's
Fuel economy is not a necessity, but my last truck got around 9.5 loaded and 15 unloaded city, would like to stay around that or better, again, not a necessity.



I've seen a C4500 in the classifieds here from AZ for $33K, but the description and pics are vague, anyone have any info on it?

Thanks for any help.

Check your local Ram dealers. Ram duallys come standard with 3.73 rear axle.

Local anything dealers have nothing, and they're all crazy. 1 used car dealer has a 2009 Chevy 2500 crew LTZ with 60K, asking $39,900..... It wasn't much more than that new. To me, that's a $30,000 truck. Local dealers are crazy.

Where are you located? My brother-in-law owns a Chevy dealer here in PA. Duramax rules!!

Truck inventory is like gold right now the closer you get to "Sandyland." Those people affected will need new trucks to replace the damaged ones and new trucks for all the construction that is going to need to get done. 2WD might be still able to get a deal on though.

For what it is worth, I bought a brand new 2500 SLE/2WD DuraCrew new in late 2003 for 32K (43K window sticker). Sold it last year for $8900 w/170K+ on the clock). No accidents/stories but after 8 years I wanted a new truck. I can't see some of the prices they are getting for pickups today especially at $4 diesel.

last 2 of my 3 trucks I have went in thinking of getting a 2-3 year old truck because of the cost savings. One time it was 1500 more for the new one and the other only 2k. On comparible models.

I think one of the issues with the high cost is the prevelence of leasing, they are trying to make their money back, and second people buying these 40-50k vehicle with little to no down and trading them in every other year, and dealers have to give trade in which equals at least their loan amount.
