Need advice.
I have a 2010 Keystone 285RL Ultra Light with Dry Weight of 4977 (as per Keystones Specs). I currently have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 V8 that I pull it with and have had NO Problems. We lost our car in the Tornado 01/22/17 in our area and we are looking to replace with a newer truck. For the short term the New Truck will be our "Family=Wife and I" vehicle and I'll keep the Dodge for my day to day vehicle.
I've found a 2013 F150 XLT with the 3.5 EcoBoost with 97,600 miles. Very Clean with great service record and price is just under 22k. Asking Price about $900 above NADA. Dealer will add 3yr/38000 mile Comprehensive Warranty with no deductable or copay at no charge.
I also have found a 2016 Ram SLT Big Horn package with 5.7 Hemi and 22,800 miles. Very clean and great service record (for the limited miles and age) and price is just above 25K. Asking Price about 800 under NADA. Truck has remaining Factory Warranty and dealer oil changes for life of ownership.
Concerning thoughts: F150 = 3 years older, almost 75k more miles, but reported better fuel economy, not sure about over all towing strength. Ram = Newer, less miles and apparently stronger engine/drive train.
I know I'm comparing a "Newer Apple to and Older Orange" , but I need some educated advice.
