I have a good friend that is looking to trade his FX4 in for a new truck. We have talked about me buying it from him, for basically what he is offered trade value (as long as it is valued around what we think it will be).
I currently drive a 2006 Dodge Ram 2wd 1/2 ton with 135,xxx miles on it, and several small problems. Engine/transmission seem to be OK.
His truck has 55,xxx miles on it and is great shape except for a couple of cosmetics dings.
My thinking is that I can buy his, sell mine, and pay the difference in cash. Gets me a truck that theoretically could last much longer, is nicer, without getting a loan and having payments for 3 or 4 years.
Anything against the FX4? Am I missing anything?
He is at a dealership right now negotiating on a new truck, I will probably have to make a decision in the next day or so. Im leaning very strongly to doing it, just want to make sure I am not missing anything.
Any "experts" have .02 to give on the subject?
PS. My primary use for this truck is daily driver with weekend warrior stuff on the weekends (fishing, house duties, hunting, etc). No extreme offroading, but the occasional rough road at my parents ranch. And hopefully pulling a popup or small travel trailer in the next year.
Thanks in advance.
