So an opportunity has came up where I can swap my 2020 1500 5.7/ Quad cab 4x4/ ORG for a 2014 3500 DRW Laramie LongHorn 4x4. And I would save a lot of money. It's a 50k Mile 2014, but looks clean for the most part, needs minor stuff but nothing I Can't handle. The truck has been sitting for 2 years and will definitely a service and stuff, but regardless this was a loaded truck. First thing first, my 2020 hit 1k miles yesterday, it's a 47k MSRP, and I paid about 36k after shipping and tax's, Probably at 40k now with all the mods I've done, PPF, vinyl wrapped bumpers, AUX fuel tank, bullbar, lightbar, Bed liner, Side steps etc. From what I'm seeing I can probably get close to what I paid for it back, Anyone have any comments on that? is the market that strong? And now to the 3500, Do I need it? no not really, Max I will tow is a 32ft travel trailer and my 1500 can do that, and tow my 2 humvees. I like that my truck has some good off road capability, but is a 4x4 dually any good off-road? I know its a lot bigger, but is capable? Can I retrofit carplay on a 14? Is it worth going for a 6 year older truck to a crew cab, a lot more towing (30k) pounds, nice leather, heated/ vent seats, projector lights etc, and save around $25K? but go to a 6 year old truck, no warranty, 4th gen, etc? does the 6.7 cummins have issues? or just stick with my 1500 that I eventually want to do a overland build on but will probably wait till after my warranty is up, I've yet to drive the 3500 as it needs 2 batteries, should drive next day or two, but for those who have driven them, how do they drive? I know this post is all over the place but I am really conflicted and want some outside opinion. Thank you all in Advance.
