Huge Thanks To The Sponsors In This Video
I factored over $4 Million and saved thousands on fuel with RTS, they are simply the best!

If I’ve learned anything over the years of buying and selling trucks and motorcycles, when u get to the sellers house and they have a shop bigger than their house... the trucks 90% of the time MINT!
True story
False that don’t mean shit
Unfortunately, this one belongs in that other 10%!
I like how u admit you’re getting a loan on the truck and not try to act like a baller
Smart financing is to always use the banks money, silly to put out all that cash unless you have enough to buy two of them outright. Always save cash for investment purposes not depreciating assets.
PFeal Thanks bro I was thinking on saving 70,000$ to buy a 2020 charger hellcat I’m gonna get a loan, jk I’m 16(underage) so I can’t so my only alternative is to save up
@@muskbezooted4226 If you can save up that much you should invest it and double it else your throwing it away on a depreciating asset, Look how much you lose once you drive off the lot.
@@PFeal that's true but saving bgg up your money and paying cash for something want or need is way better than financing. U really take a loss then.
Save up the full amount, finance half. Build that fiat credit.
“There’s a hotel right in the restaurant”🤣🤣
I know right 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I picked up on that too. But after watching him eat, clearly his priorities are find a place to eat, and a place to sleep is a bonus.
Yep! I definitely caught that, too! Classic Alex flip-flopping from the meaning in his head to the words coming out of the mouth -- Ha ha!! I even re-played that moment right away to make sure I heard what I thought I heard.
How much food did u eat???🤤
Do they have crumbs in the beds?
That's a cool truck
Didn’t think I’d see you here! If you ever get the chance, review one! Curious on frame rigidity.
Okay you're good! Big
Truck Big Rv Approves 👍
More like a Money pit. But enjoy it while you can. Good luck

Remove the rear seat head rest and it gives you more space on the floor when your sleeping back there for storing your bags
Ive been waiting for you to get a mega cab. Finally. Nice truck.
That’s a really nice truck and super rare to have the long bed with the mega cab. Congrats
Good for you. You bought a killer truck
My wife just told me to tell you “Goodness gracious, tell him to always wear your seatbelt! He has three little babies that need him.”
Thank you
@@TowPiglet no lie, I lost one of my best friends this summer. Single vehicle accident, headed to work the day after graduating college. Lost control and they didn’t find him until the next morning. His family out of state was devastated and we fundraised to send our boy home
Awesome awesome awesome truck I'm happy for you keep making that money keep rolling
Alex your bonkers.I can’t believe I’m addicted to these videos 😆🇬🇧
Congrats on the new rig, Tow Pig.... Now it's time to put her to work and get to those partials. Stay Safe Driver.
you sure have a lot of energy dude.
Love your, publications!!! Can't wait for your next video. You love what you do. Blessings to you and your family. Thanks infini for always teaching me something new. I am new cdl driver, and when I will grow up I want to be like you🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏☘☘😎
The 2 people who disliked were just salty they didn’t find it first 😂 nice truck man
I know right, the seller told me if I didn’t buy it he had someone lined up for cash that would come the next day
@@TowPiglet Ha ha, then he had to wait 'til the next day, anyway, for your CU to next-day deliver your cashier's check instead of instant wire transfer, like you were expecting. I was actually feeling nervous for you about that as I watched the video. It's amazing how sometimes a private seller will back out of a sale, for whatever reason. This guy seemed more respectable than that, tho.
@@1stNoCleverName they dislike it cuz they own a ford
Tow Piglet definitely a good find can’t wait to see how it is, and thats cool he still didn’t mind waiting. Real recognize real lol
Not everybody likes every video.
I’m not a ram dude but damn didn’t know that ram had this baby of a truck .
Dude are you a competitive eater? That’s a huge breakfast.
He is going to start a food critic channel
he has to feed that ball of energy he has WoW!! HE CAN TALK
Jose Angel De La Rosa I think he should!!!
This is a normal breakfast for him he only eats 1 time per day
@@josedelarosa40 Truck stop food critic might be dope
same here, i don't do seat belts when just pulling around places in slow speeds, some times they even locking up preventing me from turning around, got rid of chime on both work and personal trucks, it still shows seat belt light or Ram has the graphic in gauge display to remind me for road driving
lol 57k and he didn't even wash or fill it up with fuel lmao RUN 😂😂
your so positive man... thats awesome
I need to start a business just so I can justify buying a truck that awesome lol
Happy n excited for the upcoming videos of this truck, take care of the truck
The limited RAMs have saddle leather, use a boot oil for leather treatment regular leather conditioners have been known to make the leather look ashy/turn slightly white. I use Apache Cream liquid which came in a black bottle.
Thanks for that tidbit.
Beautiful truck!! Congrats man!! You work hard you deserve it!! Get it ready for some hauling!!!
That carli lift and king shocks is dope
Mad money in those upgrades. Those aren't cheap knockoff aftermarket parts.
Congratulations!!! Very nice truck👍
Just got dot Wed and I was right 65 feet with my pj 40 foot and dodge 3500 long bed that mega Cab with long bed would put you over check it out
Welcome back to the CUMMINS family brother...LOL
That is a badass truck, damn near the same truck I'm looking to pre-order for 2022 once Allison officially announces their partnership with RAM & CUMMINS.
Congratulations Sir...No go make some cabbage with that beast !
I just called China & told them you'll be dropping in shortly.
Congratulations man..happy for you
12:13 I thought you were gonna try all 3 restaurants throughout the day, not at the same time!🤣🤣🤣
Sweet! Congratulations!
Easiest way to disable seatbelt chime is to put the metal piece at end of belt inside it's base...lol
Nice truck!. It's going to be interesting to see how it holds up to work! It looks more like a play truck than a work truck. No side swiping concrete barriers Alex!
Not any more 😁
I think "work and play" can go together...I say why not?
Good looking truck, thats a rare bird , for sure. Hard to find!
Nice truck
For 57k buying this instead of a brand new truck with a warranty is honestly insane
Lol have you see hotshot Dave’s videos about the wonderful warranty
@@TowPiglet Still better than no warranty🤷🏼♂️
@@rb3tactical145 warranty isn't as important on a 4th gen
Warranty is just for a peace of mind. I never needed it once for owning couple brand new vehicles...
That is a little steep
$57,000 bit pricey but it goes away with your positive energy. It is incredible how you see the good side of things. Good health and man you rock.
Will be very interested to know how you like pulling with this vs. the Ford. Keep us in the loop.
I will 👍🏻

Bought a '18 F-550 in Franklin TN
Why does Alex have a Chile bowl 🍲 haircut 💇♂️ 😆
Hard work pays off 💪 you deserve it hope God keep blessing you and your
Alex you do realize that you took over 200k of loans in last month or so?
Loans on a equipment that will mostly have to be replaced in 2 years or less. That means you have to be paying 8-10k a month in payments just to keep up with depreciation.
Also realize once you equipment starts breaking (most) of your drivers will not go to extend you would go to fix it themselves. They will call towing to the nearest shop and you get stuck with a bills.
Btw. Nice truck... but you overpaid (both for what it is and what you need).
Happy for you. Congratulations
I don't think that truck was made on the Dodge line Alex. I've heard private companies stretch the frames and put the long bed on.....Hopefully it was done right.....
You can get chassis cab 3500s with a longer wheel base then add on the bed aftermarket.
Don’t think you can by a Mega can Chassis Truck. All mega can long wheel base trucks were done aftermarket. Dodge did build a 5500 “long hauler “ prototype but never a production version.
Richard you are right the truck is not a factory build. Dillon you can't get a cab and chassis long wheel base and mega cab and ad a long box, the frame in cab and chassis is different then a pickup. Long bed my truck is most likely the company that modified that truck as they build most of them
It's a 2015. In that model year, you could get a Mega cab long bed 3500 factory....
cleetus mcfarland, talks about this in a video and why he sold his mega cab,I may be wrong but I believe there’s whole write up on this dew to the cut rails,running as a dot/commercial truck and liability.
OK now you have a new ( HOW TO ) with a Mega Cab mini series to run with you did real good !!
A leveling kit will not aid you when pulling a trailer. You want the truck to have a slight rake so when you load the rear axle the truck will sit level. I was never a fan of the air lift air bags. They are built to assist the stock suspension not take the entire load. In order for your truck to ride level because of the leveling kit most of the load will be on the aftermarket air bag system not the stock leaf suspention.
You pick the best truck out there can't go wrong with a cummins mega cab
With your driving, You're just gonna ruin that nice truck. Use it as a backup.
This particular year of truck has 26 recalls. It’s a POS!!!! KBB shows values 12,000 less than what this guy paid and it didn’t even come with a spare tire!?!? No thanks shitty deal
Really Nice truck, the hotel stay was icing on the cake, so to speak for the video. Dude you ate 3 breakfast!
Alex, I would really like to see the frame where they added onto it to make the truck longer. Also who did the stretch?
Samehere!
Same
Yes, show me those welds
Won't pass dot
@@bluebird5100 our delivery trucks are bone stock but every 6 months they require an intensive dot inspection checking everything. Doing a half ass home shop would never get cleared. Second part I question is I have a feeling the truck was rear ended previously and this was the fix.
Congratulations!! Very nice truck. Hard work paying off. Keep it up..
WAIT Hold on a five year old truck for 57K when you can buy a 2021 for $53, 687 at Dennis Dillon Ram. with warranty, and ZERO percent financing. Paying that much monet for a 5 year old truck in nuts.
He is crazy. Probably has too much money lol
For a plain stock 3500 Limited Mega long bed, ya $57k is nuts for a truck in reality is now 6 model years old. But the added suspension upgrades might justify the the price paid. Right off the bat, the Rams have weak front suspensions. The whole spindle assemblies are pron to fail, they eat brakes, steering boxes, turbo's and rear ends have always been suspect.
Dennis Dillion of Idaho best ram dealership ever. Got my ram from them and I live in CA. Worth the flight.
@@jaysuper8255 looks like this thing is eating brakes too 8:30 look at all that brake dust. You could collect it and make a couple new pads from the material rofl
Watch his older videos he is all over the place. He rents plain Jane truck and compares it to buying higher end trucks I cannot figure him out
Congrats on your new ride. Luv following your vids, it's an adventure! Keep on truckin' & stay safe.
Honestly dude, I've never seen anyone eat like you. Thats some breakfast.
Gotta feed the machine to keep that brain firing on all 8!
Was a beautiful truck! I was eyeballing it outside before we talked. Was not the lift pump on my truck. It was the fuel rail pressure regulator. But we’re up and going again. Safe travels.!
With the extra long Mega cab, will there be any issues with the length laws? Will the overall length be greater than 65’ when coupled with your 40’ gooseneck?Just curious. NICE TRUCK BTW!
yes. My mega cab long bed is a little over 25 feet on its own, so it and a 40' trailer would for sure be over 60'
Dude.... I’m in Nashville. I would’ve been your “Uber” for the day and showed you around.
Great truck. Congratulations.
Guy sounds like he wanted you out his yard asap
Congratulations, super nice 🚚 🚛 🚒
Here’s the 4.10 VS 4.11
Anything listed as a 4.10 is actually a 4.109999. Therefore often called 4.11. Same thing
Damn, I never knew that. All 4.10 gears regardless of brand are that way?
If you see carli suspension on a truck you know the owner didn't cheap out on anything 👌
Couldn’t even top off the tank....bs man. Nice truck TP, enjoy.
That's why he brought the other truck to pick him up from the hotel.
That’s pretty chicken$hit. The seller must have thought he was getting hosed on what he got out of the deal.
Ram longbed mega thats beautiful..
love cummins thats all we buy..
Hey tow piglet. Did you measure how long the rig will be with the 40ft trailer and calculate how much weight you can haul? Looks like a heavy truck.
Its a 4x4 so it is i think hes planning on finally getting a cdl too
That leather is heavy. It adds weight which reduces your load limits.
@MG Stevens not all of them and he regularly suggest 2x4 for weight soo.....
@@markbremmer8642 it smells nice though lol
@@tyrenner that it does.
I can fit a queen air mattress in the back of my Mega Cab. It's awesome for long hauls!
Just curious on why you didn’t go with a new tradesman with a Warranty?
Because of all the CP4 problems
@@TowPiglet mMost of those problems are related to running low or out of fuel. Which aireates the fuel, and reduces lubrication.
Which is TP all the way.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂
@towpiglet why didn’t u get a ford
Temo Castilla Because he been there and done that. Fords will run you broke
Beautiful truck, NO DOUBT. CONGRATULATIONS
SMH... 6 yrs later, new video up! "Why I still owe 30k on my long bed mega cab with 600k miles" 🤦♂️. Or I guess we could get a new video in a couple weeks, " Why my long bed mega cab broke in half?" 🤷🏽♂️.
You know me too well
@@TowPiglet Yep, been following you since the beginning! Lol
excellent tire , carli suspensions , afe exaust, aisin 6 gears i think that you have bought an amazing custom truck ..................very vey good job alex
Yesss I'm not 2 hours late
👏🏻👏🏻
Congrats Man, nice truck
Why ñot but a new one. Used cars are too risky no matter how cool it looks
My dream truck right there. I’ve always liked the MegaCab with a long bed. Good choice alex!
Yikes, you can buy a really nice 379 for that
Yea right this truck now are so overpriced
My cousin is one of the chefs at The Frothy Monkey! Hope you enjoyed! They also have an awesome craft beer selection.
Next video . Alex: this dodge is a pos
Agree to disagree
Why? Back your comment, if you please
@@josedelarosa40 until GM and Ford cone out with an inline 6 then the Cummins is the poo for pulling. All the other crap that happens with a Ram goodluck with the customer service.
I have a 2011 mega cab with an 8' bed. Love it. I pull rvs out of indiana. Your truck is the only other truck like this that I have seen.
If the bed had to be changed the truck must have been crashed, thats why the paint looks so good it must have just been painted.
Not necessarily. It would look rather strange to stretch the frame and put short bed back on. I just hope quality job. Odds are custom hitch packages will NOT just bolt in. ;(
@@larrythompson8630 Who stretched the frame, was it the owner or is that a factory length frame, I didn't realize someone stretched it out.
@@TP-xi7ri he said seller did the work, using a kit. (It’s in responses from Alex). I don’t know Dodge info. But Alex said it’s stretched. Dodge need plenty room to turn normally. This will redesign the fence around his property.
57 000$ for a 5 year old used truck???? Man 2019-2020 high end trims sell for 75 000. This truck will brake down any time now, and you paid 57 000? Sheeesh
5 years old and you assume it’s gonna break down at any moment? Something tells me you haven’t driven many vehicles
@@Matthew-oj2mq check his next videos - it did break down a lot and he ended up selling it. This truck is no going to be used as a regular truck. With constant towing it’s put under immense stress and 5 year old truck will very likely start falling apart
I believe that's the worst investment you've ever done you could have bought a brand new truck for that kind of money that's not good management good luck on your investment
James Cota I totally disagree. that's when Ram actually made a good truck
If you think investing $55,000 on a used truck that is 4 years old is good investment you're crazy. You could have bought a new truck with warranty he has no warranty with that truck. I have two trucks so I know what I'm talkin about I wish him good luck
@@jamescota8137 I just priced a 2021 F350 dually crew, 6.7. 355 or 410 rear XLT GN& 5th prep.....$62k before “incentives” Not as fancy, but brand new. 3 month delivery date. There are not many full size dually crew cabs new on dealers lots. He offered to look. But I just wanted $$$ info for now. I have build sheet right here.
@@jamescota8137 call me crazy, I learned along time ago, a warranty doesn't make you money when your truck is in the shop. Let me guess, you wasted your money on a extended warranty that only lasts a year because most hotshots run 100,000 miles a year. Most major break downs are after 150,000 miles. 13'-18' aisin rams are great trucks. I wouldn't buy a new ram or ford. Tp got a awesome deal.
10/4....lol
ran into the same issues this year needed to buy a new truck and none out there. Bought mine straight off the train in Denver Colorado Through Weld county garage out of Greeley Colorado. I got the 2020 duramax crew cab long box 4x4 gmc 2500. Love the thing she is a beast. Quiet and smooth ride
I paid less for my left over 2019, way too much for that truck. Especially a work truck
I wonder if the completely redone suspension plays a factor in the cost? Not sure what it costs but I know it's expensive!
@@kccreations5945 probably about 5k atleast for just the suspension parts alone.
@@nbtholl1 I haven't looked it up but those King reservoir shocks were probably close to $5K by themselves.
Beautiful truck brotha! Congrats!
57k for a 2015 isn't smart lol
It was more of a boner buy because it does look damn sexy.
Depends on what a person wants as to what they're willing to pay. I've got a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 5.9CTD QC 4x4 sitting in my driveway with only 8,200 miles on it and recently got an unsolicited offer of 40k for it.
Love the new truck. Can't wait to see what that truck brings on Ebay in 5 years.
Lol true
Ill buy it i love my megacab lol. Im looking for another one to hot shot in too. Who wants to remove seats for a mattress. A 6" thick memory foam twin size will fold up behind the seat in mine. I can still use the under seat storage and storage bins behind the seat that way also
yeah but it's still a dodge.... it should pretty much start falling apart on your way home! LOL
I love your candor Alex.
You should consider being a Breakfast Restaurant evaluator in addition to your hot shot channel.
I am Jealous of you with that Truck. Yes I am coveting my brothers truck.
Hope you had a GREAT Thanksgiving, Dave B
Will the extra length make you too long with the 40’ trailer. South Georgia Hotshot wasn’t able to use his trailer after stretching the frame so I wander if dot will allow the truck to be used. Nice ride though.
Good point idk
@Old timer hot shot the rule is written nobody but the original manufacture can weld, modify and repair frames due to the designs needing an engineers stamp of approval.
Does anybody actually measure??
Chances of dot knowing it’s a stretched truck are slim to none... especially is the joint is clean
Wait, was the truck frame stretched? I thought it just came that way
1:55 my definition of"happiness on wheels"
That’s not a rare truck and you paid to much
Alex.... THAT'S MY TRUCK!!! That's Exactly what I Want! Congrats Bro!
I like you’re honesty , you earned another sub
Congrats!! Nice truck ☺️👍
Congrats on the purchase! Ни гвоздя, ни жезла!
Congrats TP! “Let’s put 100k miles in a year” 😎💯
Man U paid a lot for that sucker!
Congratulation on that truck looking forward on a video truck looks really clean
S L O W D O W N my good brother!
A $200 HOTEL ROOM?
It better come with included female companionship!
