You need to look at the cost of how much a trade-in will cost you. For me, it cost me an $15K to trade up to the 3500 dually. I could have saved about $5K if I kept my 2500 and purchased an Automated Safety Hitch System. If you really want to stay with an SRW, I believe this option is viable and you can keep the truck you have. Although, a 4X4 is recommended. |
I've seen these online, but not in person yet. However, I think I'd rather just get the truck
