Thanks for all the info.


I ended up getting a 2014 Ram 2500 diesel SXT with 200000KM on the odometer for a good price picking it up tomorrow.


Now if the snow can melt so I can go camping!

The newer 3/4 ton (gas) transmissions make a difference as well, more gears. For towing the 32BHDS I would recommend looking for approx. a 4:10 gear, not a 3:73 with a gasser.

But......, if you run across a low mileage 3/4 ton diesel that fits the budget, you might find yourself taking more trips through the mountains.
