When it comes to low-budget hauling, the Tradesmen trim is king. Starting at less than $30,000, it can be specced with either engine option and max out towing capacity at 10,620 pounds. However, it is extremely sparsely outfitted with only manual air conditioning, a five-inch touchscreen display, and a six-speaker sound system. It also doesn't offer much in the way of advanced feature availability, though it is the only trim that gets access to the larger eight-foot cargo bed.
