Unnecessary Hypothetical Truck Shopping

I may be going to Saskatchewan again this August, it’s very up in the air, but with the uncertainty of the coronavirus I was thinking that a camper would be better than staying in hotels along the way. Really it’s just an excuse to look for camper vans and/or trucks and truck campers. (In the hypothetical scenario where this happens, the V70 and E28 are sold.)

Anyways, this caught my eye

Aall of the miles. I’m sure it’s not a great idea, but ever since riding in a manual, dually, Cummins-equipped Dodge, I’ve wanted one....

This has been unnecessary hypothetical truck shopping

it’s a terrible decision I would probably make.

I’m definitely thinking more about it than I should

Its a terrible decision I made once... 5/10, might recommend

I bought a rust bucket 01 4x4 Ram 2500 (so not a dually) with a Cummins and 6 speed. It was an awesome drivetrain, gave me basically no major  problems, but the truck was a rusty POS and had was basically death by a thousand paper cuts.

I’m hoping the 1st gen is better put together than the 2nd, but by 647k, it might not even matter

I go to a lot of car shows and am generally pretty observant on the road... I think there are reasons you see far more old GMs and Fords on the road than Dodges. And none of them are good reasons.

No A/C is a dealbreaker for me. Also including sheet metal for rust work makes me worry about just  how much rust there is. I also hate bench seats but they could be swapped. I get your reasoning though.

One pic has a bed stack and the other one doesnt... also lots of black soot on the cab in one pic. I bet it smokes like a train especially with a fuel pin upgrade

I’m hoping the bed stack is the older photo, but yeah that soot doesn’t look great. It would need to be de-coal rollered
