Your Thoughts on Truck Dealerships

HI Everyone,

I am looking to buy a pickup truck to haul a camper and pull the boat.  I am leaning towards a Ram 3500, the truck is only as good as the service it receives.  For that reason I would like to hear from truck owners about dealerships you recommend or refuse to do business with.

Thanks,

Tim

I have bought two rigs from Gamblin in Enumclaw... Always great service and selection... They are a GM dealer though. Good used truck inventory.. I bought my used F-250 there. Just a thought.. Big trucks with turbo's have issues with early morning get ups in campgrounds.. Seen a few folks get passed when they're kids get woke up...

Not a problem anymore. The newer diesel trucks are quieter than gas engines now Smiley I sneak up on folks all the time in the campgrounds.

I bought mine at valley gmc in auburn.  They are really good people.  They also own valley RV so they can take care of your camper also.  My diesel is the quietest vehicle I have ever owned.

I can tell you where to stay away from, Sound Ford, and Northwest Motorsports without a DOUBT.  I work at Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent (no side work please)  The 6.7 diesel's have been pretty good, but who can afford one  Cheesy

I may have a 3500.  We're part of the Harnish Auto Family.  I'll let you know.
