I am looking for honest answers to my dilemma...should I keep my 1500 or trade.
The Ram is a 2018 tradesman 3.6L v6 8spd with a gross weight of 6025#s, max load weight of 1485#s, wheel base of 120", and a 3.21 rearend. Next week the Ram dealer is to change out the 3.21 to a 3.92 which I had special ordered.
The trailer I just bought and pick it up Jan 8th is a 26' TT with a gross weight of 7300#s and a tongue weight of 837#s. Unloaded weight is 5900#s. It is only my wife and me so I doubt if we would ever load more than 500#s.
My question: should I proceed with the rearend change or change to another Ram? And if I change, to what??? The dealer said they would ship the parts back if I decide to buy another Ram. They have a 2019 new 2500 at $40k with tow package, 4wd, and offroad package, and also two 2016 1500 diesels at $32-34k with around 30k miles.
