Considering the price difference (2500 more than 1500) how could that be? Insuring a more expensive truck is less than a less expensive truck?In Alberta a 2500 is actually cheaper to insure that a 1500. Plates cost the same.
Funny enough, I asked my agent the same question. Her answer was 2500s get stolen less and are involved in a lot less accidents.Considering the price difference (2500 more than 1500) how could that be? Insuring a more expensive truck is less than a less expensive truck?

In a nutshell, no one buys a 2500 for the gas mileage. Most people buy them for the horse power, payload, and towing capacity. That's the only reason I bought mine.I appreciate everyone’s thorough answers to my original question. Obviously I’m looking at all aspects of buying a new(bigger) truck. MPG is a factor for and for as the question I had. This just reaffirms what I thought the 2500 would get.
22' power wagonI had a '17 Power Wagon with 4.10's. Driving back and forth to work (about 50 miles round trip) on 55 mph rural highways, I'd average close to 16 mpg. Expressway was about 13.5 doing 75, maybe 14 doing 70. In town...I won't go there, suffice to say it was terrible.
Why do want a heavy duty truck unless you’re towing/hauling in excess of five thousand or so pounds on a regular basis?I know this has been asked a million times. What are people getting for MPGs in your 2500s with the 6.4? Not interested in towing numbers, just normal highway and city numbers. I'm really on the fence between a 2500 and 1500 and it really comes down to weekly cost of driving for me. We drive a lot out of state on highways and rural roads. Right now I have a 2015 1500 with 154k miles and I've been consistently getting 17-20 mpg on our trips. I'm curious how much of a hit I would take at the pump if I go to a 2500.
Thank you in advance, sorry for the redundant topic...lol

You buy a 2500 or 3500 based on the job you need it to do. If you don't tow or haul anything that benefits from an HD truck, then it's a waste of money to buy one.
