Yup I have 1500 and I have been through many bearings and pinion seals some due to shotty dealer work and overloading my truck and asking it to work. I have towed so many miles considering it has nothing to do with my living it is sad. I bought the truck to work it some and just commute mostly. For me a 1500 is probably the right choice but I am pushing it many times I know. I actually like the idea of 2500 HEMI for me just because I really just need beefier suspension not really more power and my short commute would be hell on diesel even more than gas. I just feel anytime you go small you are adding risk. My grandpa always tells people look in mirror and ask yourself what kind of driver you are. If you like to drive hard get the biggest engine you can for that model and you will be better off. Makes sense as I know I would not be able to have 4.7L in Ram but in the Durango when it was the biggest you could get then it was ample in there.
Don't forget about things like climate and commute length those can be a large factor in going with diesel or not and probably reason I have not went diesel route yet.
