Worth The Price For A 5th Gen?

[MightyZ]

Hello all, we just sold our Class A Diesel Pusher, and I'm actively looking at RAM 3500 SRW with an Aisin.

The price is not much more, between the 4th Gens and 5ths.

Is it worth it to spend the difference on a 5th Gen?

With what I see in the tea leaves, if you could wait a bit, you could get a smoking deal when the house of cards comes crashing down.

I will only focus on a 4th gen if a manual transmission and enhanced performance upgrades and tuning are a must-have.

Everything else being equal, I prefer the cosmetic and comfort upgrades of my 2019 over my previous 4th Gen.

I side with Power247, and the 5th gens are that much better inside.

I had one for a rental, and it was sold to the wife and me.

It wasn’t even high optioned like my Laramie and had cloth seats.

It is not a question for a generation with me.

The two generations are very close in price in the used market.

RAM has figured out the emissions stuff if you don't mind stock performance, and the systems are much more reliable now.

I plan on getting a Laramie trim or above in a dually with an Aisin and 4.10 gears.

It won be as sporty as my truck in my signature, but it will pull my 5th wheel with ease.

Thanks for the response; as stated above, the 5th Gen was only a few thousand more than the 4th gen.

I'm getting the Aisin for sure!

I talked with my credit union lead loan officer, who said rates would jump soon.

I was able to secure a loan for a great rate.

So I jumped on the deal.

Hopefully, I will pick it up on Saturday!

How do you figure?

The emissions systems are precisely the same as and will take a dump on you between 70-100k miles.

Spot on with the thoughts on the dually, Aisin, 4:10 combo.

My truck had 120,000 on it, and the emissions system was working perfectly, but I deleted the truck anyways.

It is also known that if you run shortstops and drive the trucks daily, the factory emissions do not work efficiently, and more problems arise.

The systems work much better if.

If you run them like an HD truck, pull loads, and put smiles on the.

There are 300,000 plus mile 4th gen trucks on factory emissions.

And sometimes you get a bad truck that wants to be difficult.

Oh, so you're one of those people that thinks you should only own a diesel if you pull a loader or dump trailer OTR daily.

Got it.

There are thousands of contractors that need their diesels to tow/haul/daily short distances and idle around jobsites regularly.

I am just stating what my experience and observations have been.

I feel you were unnecessarily defensive in your reply.

I definitely understand that needs will vary and expectations are the systems should function the same regardless.

I am “not in one camp or the other.”

My apologies to the original poster.

I feel I derailed your conversation with the sidebar and I am pleased that you sourced a truck and that it was a good deal.

Please let us know the details of your buy!
