if you want to save some money, try geting a 5.9l and youll get about 4-5 extra mpgs...and that really adds up

we really are trying to heplp when we say your better off with a used 5.9..the 6.7 gets worse economy..and a good local dealer is nice for reflashes..if your moving around then theres no steady connection w/ a dealerU Connect is like a $300 upgrade. You would definately be getting screwed... hard. There are tons of used trucks out there. If you are dead set on buying new then you were fudging on the initial statement about not having a ton of money.
I don't mean for that to sound as harsh as it probably does but if you go in for 40+K for a truck and then you spring for a new Raptor or Cyclone then you are looking at over 100k in debt for a truck and trailer. it isn't worth it! that is coming from a full timer man.
You can go used on both and save enough overall cash to pay for that new truck. I know where a 38ft toy hauler is for 30k or less and you can get a 3rd gen quad cab dually with whatever transmission for 20-25k these days that still has a ton of life left in it. That puts you with house and hauler for about 12k more than you are trying to spend on a truck before interest.
Just doesn't make sense to me.
