This fall’s continued slowdown in truck sales already has started to bring year-end savings, offering work-truck buyers an opportunity to look for deals. And while it may seem silly to find a decent price on a massive pickup, such as the fully loaded, dual-rear-wheel Ram 3500 we recently test-drove, it is not impossible.
A big cost of a truck this size is what it can do for users that need to tow, haul and move. Our 2016 Ram 3500 arrived with a base price of $56,825, which included a crew cab, long box and four-wheel drive. With a window sticker of $76,090, including delivery, this giant pickup also came with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel ($8,995) and, with that engine, a heavy-duty Aisin six-speed automatic transmission ($2,595). The dual rear tires added $1,200.
