Looking at 2 different power wagons...a 2010 and a 2013. The 2010 lists a 5 speed shiftable auto while the 2013 lists a 6 speed. I know that the 5 speed has 2 2nd gears so it could be listed as 6 but are there any owners out there that see a big difference between the 2010/11 and 2012+ years (performance, mileage, durabiltiy, towing etc)? Thanks!

The 12+ Ram 2500s have a brand new 6 speed automatic.
So far, I absolutely love mine. It occasionally seems like it's programmed for a diesel (holds a gear too long on a hill bogging down) but that also might be caused by me living at 7500' so the engine doesn't work near as well here.

I think in '12 they started offering the Laramie Power Wagon and the ST Power Wagon too, so depending on what you wanted (fancy truck, or 'work' truck) you had the option.

With the experience I've had with my '13 so far, they really haven't gotten this UConnect ******** electronics figured out yet. If you can handle the ugly brown interiors of the '10-12s, get one of those instead.
