      TBH I've never driven a 6.4, but the 7.3 "Godzilla" in our E450 motorhome is amazing, considering it's almost always moving near the GVWR.

      I believe the 2500/3500s with air suspension is only for the rear. 1500s are a totally different system, which controls both F&R.

      To each their own. I much prefer the 5th gen over my prior 4th gen, I find it more refined. 4 corner air suspension on both.
