Tradesman is about $40K
SLT Lonestar is about $47K

Haven't negotiated any better pricing on the new trucks yet. Was waiting till I went into the store to see what happens.

Have some people tell me not to get a diesel unless I need one. I can't say that I really need it because my Tundra will tow my tractor and trailer but the diesel will tow it better with better fuel mileage. You fellas think I'd be making a mistake getting into the diesel truck? Decisions decisions...

Just a data point, I got my 2016 SLT last month for $37,700. It was certified by Dodge (worth jack shit I am sure) had 26K miles on it and has very few options, which is the way I like them.

I have driven a diesel 4X4 truck as a daily driver for 12 years now. I like them because they don't really break down as long as you maintain them and the straight axle front doesn't feel like a boat going down the road. Plus when I get ready to tow or drive in shitty weather they can do anything I need to do. They aren't for everyone though, a lot of people don't like the size or the lack of frills on these trucks. Those people buy Fords and pay $10K more.
