About 1 year ago I made the hard decision between a 2500 and a 1500. It was hard because I was trying to balance towing capability vs daily driving.
I purchased a 2019 1500 5.7 eTourque with a 3.92 rear end. I ordered the tow mirrors, air suspension, etc. We have since upgraded from a 27’ camper to a 37.5’ camper - a Keystone Cougar that weighs around 8K lbs.
Here is my question. Should I have purchased the 2500? When I tow the camper on normal roads I am fine. The 5.7L has plenty of horsepower and torque. Highway driving is downright scary anytime I get over 60 mph. Or any semi passes me. I have a weight distribution hitch that has anti sway. Should I have purchased the 2500? Would that help?
