Advice on a truck
Last week my daily driver was totaled in a hydroplaning accident on I-75 near Atlanta, GA. I figure this is the best opportunity for me to buy a truck that will haul the truck camper that I want in the future.
I've been looking through the ads, but most of the suitable trucks sell quickly, especially the Dodge trucks with the Cummins engine. (I guess the premium for the diesel really does pay off when it comes to resale.)
I found this on craigslist today: Dodge Ram 3500 w/monster tires and I'm going to try to see it on Sunday.
I'm not crazy about the ride height or the massive tires, but I figure I can find someone who will buy them if I really can't live with them.
Here's my question: What should I look for when I see this truck in person? Is there anything about the 2001-era Dodge that is a particular quirk?
In case this truck doesn't work out, what should I be looking for in general when buying a truck intended for a truck camper? Anything to avoid? (Please don't turn this into a Dodge/Ford/Chevy argument.)
Thanks!
