    Here she is! 2019 Ram 3500 tradesman loaded with goodies!
    I put 1000 miles on her already and haven't even started working.
    Installing a "sleeper" in the cab tomorrow and then to get my insurance ready.
    Going to haul a 3 car trailer, should all be ready to work by next week.

    If anyone is interested, the upfit was done by hitchcrafters in North Carolina and the truck was bought in Ohio cause no one else had the packages I wanted on a tradesman chassis cab except them.

    Nice truck bud.

    Just looking at the images makes me want to switch to hotshot.


    But I gotta say this.

    “Awwww look at that little cute 5th wheel”


    Good luck.

    Out the door price of 60k and change for the truck. It's a loaded truck with max tow, chrome package, safety group, snow prep, dual fuel tanks 74 gal total and some other minor stuff i don't remember.
    The upfit was a little over 3k.
    Best of all, it doesn't drive like a truck and it's better equipped than my 13' benz.
    I averaged 18 mpg doing 70 mph about 95% of the way. Smart cruise control and smart high beams are a blessing!
    Can't wait to start working!

    Good job. I took out passenger seat and backseat ran it front to back put in single mattress, plenty of room to sleep that is.
