I am looking for a nice used newer Dodge Cummins. It's been a while since I've been in the market and have no clue where to begin looking. Anybody have any ideas? I'm in Indiana. Thanks

bart said:Ok Jody you are talking to someone that feeds alot of round bales during a winter to cattle. I am not talking about feeding a few sheep. Dont tell me about feeding cattle hay in Texas!
Jody my bale carrier fits on the back brings the front of the truck up. And yea I pull a real gooseneck made by Gooseneck here in town.

I bought it sight unseen but had so many pictures and can say that it was honestly represented( unlike a lot of cattle that I have bought). Have had it for 2 years with no issues and will go this route again on our next purchase.

I bought my truck from a dealer just outside of Dallas Texas and found it online, I put a deposit on it, flew to Texas, test drove it and had a mechanic look at it and then gave them the rest of the money from a certified check from my credit union and drove it home. Saved money buying it in Texas and got the truck I wanted.

Big M Show Cattle said:Jody makes a good point and that is why I also have a little Toyota 4X4 truck along with my 2008 Dodge cummins diesel 4X4 flatbed. I love my flatbed as I can put 2 large round bales on the flatbed if I want to take a couple large round bales. I use my Toyota truck for feeding as it is lite and easy on gas with a little 4 cylinder motor and it gets around great in the mud and snow here in Wyoming. But I bought my Dodge last year used and love it, pulls my gooseneck horse trailer and gooseneck flatbed easy and has alot of power in that 6.7 liter cummins diesel. I would say look around and don't jump on the 1st truck you find. I wanted a Dodge flatbed with 4 wheel drive and looked for about 4 to 5 months before I found the truck I wanted and it is a 4 door truck.

Bottom line is look for the truck you want for the price you are willing to pay, search the internet but watch for scammers and that's why I bought for a reputable dealer but still got a good deal compared to truck prices around Wyoming.
