Current quad cab short bed 2003 4x4 CTD 48re with 227k on ticker. Maintained and all original major mechanicals, maintenance and wear items kept up w no rust.
Considering an upgrade to new 2022 configured same but with the hemi. I don't tow super heavy stuff anymore, max is 24' enclosed <8k lb.
Think I've narrowed it down to laramie 6.4 with 8 speed.... tow etc and all the crap the factory likes to add.
Notwithstanding the price for what will likely be our last truck purchased is rather steep. Reading online there is some good and some bad reports.
Any input (and any unused f&f help might soften blow).
I realize I can keep the ctd going for more years with regular maintenance yet seems quality shops for major stuff is getting to be slim choices.
Reality bites.
