Need to upgrade your trailer though. That 6 ton car hauler is junk. Gooseneck is where it's at.

Brb 4x the interior space of a sports car. Sits higher off the ground so you can see a lot more. Safest vehicle possible in a crash. Rides smooth as hell. As all the modern conveniences of a luxury sedan. Has the ability to tote in the bed or tow a trailer. Maintains value very well (respectively). Assuming you own a business can be a tax deduction....
My first truck was an F250. Only occasionally towed a camper or boat. But I could fit 1 passenger in the front and 4 in the back seat. All my friends chipped in gas money and we took road trips on the weekends.

that thing looks like you need a gas station with you wherever you go
good thing you can probably tow one with that

Don't see what that truck can do that you previous one's could not.
-Haul chit here and there
-Decent gas mpg comparatively speaking of other trucks
-Room for more than 3 peoples

How many fukin trucks do you go through? I remember within the past 3 or so years you made a thread about your new $60000 truck that looked like a lamer version of the one you just bought. What happened to that one? Lost in a tragic leaf burning accident?

Trucks to me, are just a waste to me (I dont tow or haul much) I have a mini trailer I attach to my car to transport stuff like lawnmowers/motorcycles/kayaks. If I need a truck I'll go rent one for a day.
Half my friends have giant lifted trucks, getting like 10mpg. Spending thousands tuning/adding turbos or upgrades. wooo, what a waste. Since OP uses his for work, more power to him. but for people just buying one to look cool (All of texas) really cant relate to the appeal. I just drive around my little 4 banger getting 35-40mpg. 30mpg towing motorcycles.
Its a nice truck though. Just 68k is a lot. i'd buy a gt350...

Nice truck. Wouldn't drive/10. Had a 1 ton cummins and I felt like I was going to lose a filling every time I was in it. I prefer the plush ride of a 1/2 ton.
Also, Dodge > Chevy
