      I caught some one stealing my trailer with a little truck like the one you described. My father and I were able to catch up to him and held him at gunpoint while cops arrived because his truck bumper and hitch literally bent under the weight of the trailer in combination with him trying to jump a small curb to get away. Those small trucks are great for most normal work but when youre pulling a loaded dump trailer filled with material or a skid steer youre not going to be going anywhere safely.

    The diesel is really meant for long-hauling, particularly with a trailer. Running around a ranch really could be served by a gas engine. It's cheaper and won't give you any DPF headaches.

    • @Joel_E
      @Joel_E Před 2 lety +21

      Also, on a 10,000 lb GVWR 3/4 ton, having a diesel engine gives up a lot of payload. Besides limiting hauling capacity, that also makes it difficult to tow a large 5th wheel or gooseneck and stay inside your ratings.

    In my experience that's exactly what most ranchers (at least the ones I've been around) would get. Ranch trucks are mostly for driving around and hauling trailers over long distances so they usually buy the expensive luxury models. Farm trucks are mostly for carrying all types of stuff in the bed and they get beat on, so those are usually the base model cheap trucks with the large bed.

    I owned a diesel F250 and F350 in my 20’s. Now in my 30’s, while I think they’re very cool, I can’t justify the cost of owning and operating another. Unless it’s making money pulling heavy loads. A bare bones regular cab long bed gas 7.3 F350 is a work truck if you have to go new.

If you’re being financially smart, your vehicle is less than half your annual income and you don’t take out a loan over 60 months. With zero down and zero interest, that’s over $1,100 per month in payments.
      Median mortgage in the US is $1.6k per month. So $2.7k for 1 house and 1 truck but most people have another car so let’s add on an average of $500 since that is an average car payment. So now we are at $1.6k for cars and $3.2k for rent and cars.
      Good budgeting says your rent/mortgage should be under 25% of your post tax income. Total cars should be under 20%. $3.2k is 40% of $8k. After you consider about a 30% tax rate between fed and state you have to be making $140k annually to be able to afford this truck, an average house, and an average car for your significant other.

      These Cummins equipped Ram 2500s have a 10,000lbs GVWR but a 27,000lbs GCWR and theirs will be able to legally tow about 19,000lbs. They only need to worry about payload with their trailer tongue weight which they still probably have around 2,000lbs to play with since it's a big horn. TFL guys will be just fine!

    Just FYI, the white long bed crew cab HD seen in this video being referred to as a work truck, was actually a Laramie, likely with an 85k MSRP. Just because a truck is white, does not mean it's a cheap work truck.
    All my personal trucks are white including my TRX and both my HD RAMs.
    Note the factory fender flairs and LED headlights on the truck in this video.
    Fender flairs are on Laramie and Laramie + trim trucks.
    The 2019+ flairs are also a bolt on flair that bolt through the face of the fender, so they really can't be added, as an accessory. Not without a great deal of expense and effort.
    I had just gone through this with my new 2022 Bighorn, and settled for aftermarket flairs pained to match, that sort of look similar to the OEM flairs.

I found ones that are $3-$5,000 cheaper with the Z71 off-road package which comes with the spray-in bed liner, dampen tailgate with ones with the powered up and down function, Duramax Diesel engine that offers more horsepower and torque than their Cummins, some in the Custom trim, even a few with a sunroof.

Raising cattle, pigs , chickens crops or maybe service dogs. Just remember that when you come to pick a tractor the new ones also can't be repaired by the rancher.

    Roman, you have not thought this out well. I'm a trucker, as in big rigs. That truck is designed to be heavy all the time. 24-7. Bedliner and fifth wheel will be needed. Yes it can haul an excavator but unless you have a CDL, Andre or Mr. Truck will have to drive it. And good luck with the DPF filter. RAM is rumored to have problems with them. Hopefully, it will be able to tell the difference between summer and winter fuel. If not, you'll get to enjoy the bliss of a parked regen that takes 45 minutes to an hour of just sitting there burning diesel.
    Let's not forget the sticker shock of diesel fuel. I'm gonna laugh my butt off when you have to go and fill it at almost $4 a gallon with prices only going higher. There's a reason why truckers have fuel surcharges.
    Also, does it qualify as a commercial vehicle based on use? If so, good luck with all the taxes. I'll be laughing my butt off with that bill.
