Get a 2021 2500 with 4-link or keep my 2001?

Hi All,
I'm thinking of upgrading to a newer Diesel. What is the consensus on the 2021 2500 with rear 4-link rear suspension?
The one I'm looking at has 58,000km (In Canada now) asking $62,000. It is a Big Horn model with 6.7L Cummins I6 Turbodiesel 6-Speed Automatic 4WD Bright White Charcoal/black interior, Equipped With; Block heater, ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, Protection Group, Remote keyless entry, Tow Hooks. Transfer case skidplate, Vinyl flooring with all weather floor mats.
Retail sticker is 76,000.
Thanks for any input!

I hate driving or working on new trucks.

Easy choice for me.

4-link rear is for comfort. Leaf springs for payload and hauling.

I think the reason its made is that some guys want basically a ram 1500 with the cummins, so that is what Dodge came up with instead.

I would agree, as it was much smoother than my 2001. I guess I should see what it costs to replace all those bushings, or if there is an upgrade for them. I think it has a higher payload than my 2001, though...
