I went from a 2014 5.7 QC 1500 express with rear Tuftruck springs to a 2015 6.4 CC 2500 big horn with rear air springs. The only reason for doing that was because I need to haul and tow. My 1500 just couldn't keep up and wasn't safe. If I didn't need to haul and tow as much weight and as often, the 1500 is WAY nicer as a daily driver, more nimble. But the 1500 is limited to light stuff like the occasional fridge/couch, etc. For my needs it defeats the purpose of owning a truck. So for me, from a function stand point, it's either a 2500 or a car. That's why my daily/second vehicle is now Mustang GT. If the 1500 5.7 came with a manual, I would have definitely considered one instead as a daily/second though...
As mentioned, there is certainly a difference in ride quality but I don't think it's nearly a bad as some others have mentioned.
Thank you all for the responses...especially Viking, that is some helpful info you shared.
Another question for everyone that made the jump to a 2500....outside of towing capability, meaning if you didn't need it for it's towing capability ...would you keep it?
Do you regret it?
Reek, what year Mustang do you own?

I'm on my 2nd 1500 and while I'm very happy with my current truck, I've been considering making the jump to a 2500 for my next vehicle.
Has anyone made the jump ...are you glad you did or do you wish you stayed in a 1500?
I rarely tow anything, I have a utility trailer that will haul 3K lbs or so.
I do like to spend some time off road/hunting and I have a 30 min highway commute to work everyday.
I guess it boils down to this:
1) Do I really NEED a 2500? no.
2) Do I want one? I don't know yet. But the idea of having a more capable truck is always appealing.
I'm just going to drive a few and then we'll see.
I'm curious to see what the 5th gen Sports look like, which we should find out in a few days.
If I don't like them, I'll probably end up in an '18 2500 if I can find a deal.
2017, performance pack with 6 speed manual. Cars with a naturally aspirated V8 and a stick are so rare, it was one of my only choices. Plus I also have a 65 el camino so the risk of being tacky was already taken care of. and my mid life crisis lead me to one of three options:
1. buy a AEV front bumper and Winch set up
2. buy a new Mustang GT and a Corsa exhaust
3. find a early 20's girl friend and not tell the wife.
Mustang won the risk/benefit's ratio.
Life is short get what you want if you can afford it.
