The local stealer wants me to trade in my '02 2500HD DA 4X4 SLE with a little less that 45k on it for an '05 3500 DA SLT dually 4X4 for $19,000. I need a heavier TV for my trailer, which weighs 14400 dry and grosses at 18K. I Have been looking at the F350 because of the higher capacity. I have never loaded the 5'ver to it's gross weight and doubt I ever will. It's usually between 16 & 17K.

Should I take the dealers offer or is it too high? Should I keep looking at the F-350 because of the weights involved, or will the 3500 handle it?

Thanks

Never mind. I pulled the trigger at $17,500 and 2.9% financing.

Sounds like you got a nice deal. Congrats. Just need to post pics of that new truck now.. Good luck

Yeah, sounds like you got a pretty good deal.

Does that mean you paid $17,500 + your trade for your new truck? If so, what did you get for your trade (if you don't mind me asking). I'm looking for a truck like the one you traded-in and curious what I should expect when I start negotiating.
Thanks

Congrads on your new Duramax! We sure appreciate you staying with GM. Those Alfas are something else.I like the Sun model.

Sounds good to me. i presume the 05 was new?
