Purchasing a 2015 Ctd Mega Cab

Hey guys! This is an awesome forum and I see a lot of guys giving honest advice etc. I'm looking to purchase a 2015 Ctd Mega Cab either a 2500 or 3500 when I come back home from working on a project. I have done extensive research on the Ram Heavy Duty line and I am just totally impressed with the trucks. Test drove one a few weeks ago and just fell in love. Like them way better than the Duramax and Power Stroke's I have test driven. The truck will mostly be used for work when I go out of town and across the country for work. Now I am debating on either getting the 2500 or 3500, I see that the 3500 series comes with the Aisin Transmission. I've read that the Aisin is far more superior to the Allison which in my opinion is just a beast.

My truck won't really tow/haul much within the first year and people have told me ill be wasting my money on getting a Cummins. I can care less what others opinions are lol. My main question is, if I am going to be spending the kind of money on a new truck should I get the 2500 or 3500? Like I said before, the truck will be used for work and play and will b e traveling a lot.

The truck I test drove was a 2015 2500 Mega Cab 4X4 Big Horn Ctd and after the first few minutes of driving the truck I just seriously fell in love. I have yet to test drive a 3500 yet, but will I notice a difference between the 2 without pulling a trailer?

IIRC, there is no difference between a 2500 and 3500 aside from the rear axle spring pack.

You will most certainly get a rougher unladen ride on the 3500 (leaf springs) than the 2500 (coil springs).

the 2500 with the coils rides awsome!!

If you don't need the payload of the 3500 get the 2500 for a smoother ride.

I just picked up a 2500 mega. with coils and its amazing how it rides. and the more people you add the smoother it gets.

The aisin is going to be a waste of money if your not towing or hauling with it. Stick with the 2500 my friend, much better ride!
