$$$ bills to blow out the exhaust
seriously though. I'm too dang poor to think of buying a brand new truck and I am guessing $40k is about what a new one is going to cost now. With the depreciation as soon as you drive off the lot, the lack of needing one like that and the emissions and new issues the new ones have, we have kind of kept to low mile used vehicles. |

Well holy crapola! They are getting up there!
I'm no truck expert. We have ours because my husband loves that year of Dodge due to the engine. Gets great fuel mileage. Ours is a 2000 Dodge 3/4 ton. I can't remember what we paid. It has 130,000 now so should last a lot longer.
I would think for $40k you could get a pretty dang nice truck though. |

Location: Montana | I would expect a brand new one! LOL. One place in Idaho we were looking at had brand new 2015 Ram 3500 pickups, crew cab with the Cummins and automatic and long box in good colors, like red and blue, for VERY close to that price (military discount price was $38,995, and I think our price was about a $1000 more than that...we didn't buy it because we didn't need it and couldn't afford one, LOL). If you are set on getting all the fancy stuff like leather, then not a new one, but leather doesn't make it pull or haul different.  |

| You can buy you a 3500 dodge ram dually under $40k with SLT, automatic, cummins engine, towing pkg at BONHAM CHRYSLER in Bonham Tx ... they run an ad each week in a community news paper thingy ... if you want to see the ads ... msg me and when the new one comes in Wednesday mail .. i will scan and send to you..
Do not fall for the econoboost diesel ... this year i am told dodge trucks do not have the HEP crap to add to the fuel ...
Dealers can sell each other's trucks without a problem or if you were to order one .. have it shipped to you local straight from the factory... Do your shopping on Sunday and take a picture of the window sticker so you know exactly what is on the truck and the vin number .. if you talk to Bonham ... they can sell you that truck at their lower price ..

I have never shopped for one as I stated above. The new ones are not as good as the older ones. Prettier and may ride better, but they just don't have an engine we want right now. My husband hauls cattle with a Semi for a living so he is pretty savvy with the diesel engines. Me, as long as they will start and pull my trailer, I am golden. |

I know, I know.... it just made me laugh because we looked at new ones recently and my jaw dropped, I didn't mean for it to come across mean or anything. I totally agree about the older vehicles. Our one ton is a 2000 model. I'm waiting for the 2011s to come down into my price range because that's the first year they put a/c in the seats and since I found out that was an option, it's on my list of must-haves. |

Location: Stephenville, TX | Can't really answer this question accurately because there are so many variables that determine price. If you're asking this question because $40k is your budget for a truck, there are lots of websites that will let you search their inventory by price. I'd suggest doing that to get an idea of what your money can buy, then narrow it down to years, engines, options, etc and start asking specific questions about those if need be.

| The book on my 2003 Dodge 1-ton diesel with leather is STILL $30,000 - I know as I borrowed against it to pay for my last horse! LOL! It only has 54,000 miles on it though but still, this is a TWELVE year old truck still worth that. I bought it new and it usually stays hooked to the trailer. |

| We just bought a 2012 F250 Lariat Powerstroke diesel 4x4 crew cab with ALL the bells and whistles with 45K miles on it and paid about $40,000.
We are on the east coast, so not sure if that matters. However, I was adamant that we would get a 2011 or newer, 4x4, diesel with less than 100k on it, and we searched for 6 months and found 2. We had to have this one shipped to us. They are hard to come by because after so many bad years of diesels with Fords, no one wants to let go of them. |

Location: North Dakota | We just bought a 2014 GMC 2500 (gas) with only 8,000 miles on it. Loaded with heated/cooled seats, satelitte radio, navigation, TV in the rear, bed liner, and lots of other fancy extras. And we paid about $40,000. It was a steal of a deal in my opinion!! We went out of state to get it, because anything around here was much more expensive. |

Location: The edge of no where | It just depends on what you want. You can find a base level crew cab diesel dodge dually for about $38k - brand new.
They aren't all 60k........if you can live with out nav, leather seat, etc.
Just shop a bit. I'd rather have one with less miles and fewer options. As far as referring to blue book value on your truck, it doesn't mean much of anything. A dealership isn't going to write you a check for that at trade in.

| We've been truck shopping lately, and I am looking for a diesel with 4 doors and leather. I was trying to stay under $30k, but to get anything "newer" (2008) I seem to be getting more into the $35k range. |

| After speaking to many diesel mechanics, and watching my friends trucks blow up that had 6.0's and 6.4's I can't recommend you get anything in a Ford prior to 2011 if its a diesel.
We found plenty of Gas Fords after 2011 for way less than 40K, but not a diesel, or at least not with much less than 100k miles |

I'm married to a diesel mechanic and we didn't shy away from the 6.0 ford. They require much more diligent care, but it's a towing beast... |

^This. I have to agree with TwistedK. We have a great diesel mechanic so got a steal of a deal on an 05 6.0 5 yrs ago. 'Bulletproofed' it, we love it!
Sorry OP I didn't really answer your question...I've seen nice used well kept Fords (diesel) around here 2011s-2013s for around $40k or a bit less, depending on the mileage. Good luck truck shopping! |

| I suppose if you aren't having to pay for all the labor that goes along with all the repairs, it's fine if you're just buying parts. 2 of the several specific diesel mechanics I talked to, said they love to see them roll in because they know they'll make plenty of money while the "find" what's wrong - and the truck will be back again and again.
I just couldn't justify something I'm making a monthly payment on, spending so much time in the shop, and/or costing as much to repair as my monthly payment. My 6.7 is a hauling beast too. |

| We recently sold our 2012 Chevy 3500 crew cab long box with the Duramax diesel engine. Truck had 35,000 miles and sold for $39,000. It had leather and was set up to pull with a g/n hitch and a few accessories, but nothing fancy on the inside. |

Location: Oklahoma | I just bought a 2011 Dodge 2500 Larame Longhorn package with the Cummings Diesel with 71K for $41K. It has nearly everything. I love driving this truck!! It does have the short bed, but I don't have a problem with that. I've been driving my old 1995 Ford F350 and this was a bit of an adjustment. |

The 2003 and a half model was when Ford discontinued the 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel and began the night mare of the 6.0I / 6.4 /6.6 debacle. International did not engineer these engines well enough to begin with and Ford dang lost their market share of the diesel pickup market. Then in 2010 Ford presented their own inhouse Ford Diesel design with the DEF that the EPA mandated. Which by the way is the reason the 7.3 was discontinued in the first place. Needless to say I despise the unconstitutional EPA! |

I'm sorry, you are right. I had "newer" stuck in my mind.
The 7.3's were great engines. I see a lot of those on the road. However, they are hard to find without a lot of miles, which I know a lot of people shy away from. And people that have them don't want to get rid of them! In those engines, they'll go forever. I have a friend with a 2000 or 2001 with almost 300k original miles on it. Had to rebuild the tranny at 240k, but the engines just keep on going.
The EPA really screwed Ford when they made them replace that engine. They don't get great fuel mileage, and they are unbelievably loud, but they are hauling machines. I think they finally have a winner in the 6.7 though. |

It just depends on what you want. You can find a base level crew cab diesel dodge dually for about $38k - brand new.
They aren't all 60k........if you can live with out nav, leather seat, etc.

Which is EXACTLY why I would NEVER trade mine in - I know I would get raped! |

It doesn't mean the dealership is sticking it to you by not giving you what blue book value is........they can't sell it for that either, nobody is going to write a check for $30k for a truck that age. It's just that blue book has nothing to do with where the market truely is for a vehicle. If you want to get a real picture, look at what they're bringing at auction and use that to get a base price. |

Oh I totally realize they have to make money - that's why they are in business. I guess I have just been SCREWED so many times with trade ins, I'd rather sell outright. Yes, they have to make money but I don't need to put their kids through medical school. Also you can look up trade in value and retail on the Kelly Blue Book site.
