If you aren't towing anything that a 3500 wouldn't handle with ease, I cant imagine driving a bigger truck. You mentioned acceleration. I have towed with the bigger trucks and get pretty irritated when I can't hang with a tuned 1 ton pulling a bigger load!

Whats this about depreciation? I am several thousand ahead on my 2500HD Duramax. Gotta buy nice used trucks!

I'd have to wait to get a used 2017....2016 would be cheaper but I want the new motor

I've owned all three and also had them as my daily driver. I don't go that far, trips to post office ect. My son still has my old 3500 dually. I'm in my second year with the sportchassis. Had a Kodiak 4500 before. traveling wise I like the sportchassis the best, most room better ride easier driving. I don't think you can make a bad choice with either they both are great trucks. Your personal preference will decide witch would be better fit for you. I have no trouble getting around town or parking with my sporthassis, it's kinda cool to be able to load up six and go to dinner in style.

I'm having a baby boy in the next couple of days, what about the ease of a baby in the big truck?

My 1 year old nephew gives it two thumbs up. There is a ton of room in the sportchassis, enough for all the supporting equipment for the little ones. plus you have the tv for their entertainment!

Its all in what you want (but what would I know lol) I love a Sport Chassis hands down best all around (medium duty size) trucks I have owned. I truly USE a truck and they have yet to dissapoint me. Air ride seats, Air ride suspension, Air ride cab and the plushest leather you will ever sit on how can you not like one, your basically riding on a cloud. As for a 3500 I cant knock them one bit, it will do everything with comfort and every day drivability and still tow about anything you ask of it. You are 100% correct on the loosing value ratio, the new 3500 truck will loose far more money far faster. The properly equipped Sport chassis is going to hold a strong value and last. Just one guys opinion.....

Its going to be hard to find a real Sportchassis thats nice enough for 75K, I can't stress this enough that you really have to spend some money, and get ALL the options, to get a badazz sportchassis or F650.

Again both great options but think you will end up spending more on the proper sportchassis

thr one I'm looking at is a 2007 fully loaded with 31,000 miles for 65k
