So I have the itch for a new truck. My current Ram 1500 has 147K km on it. It’s honestly the best truck I’ve ever owned. Good power, fuel economy and ride. I also really like the interior.
So my problem lies in lack of payload. My truck is just under 1100 lbs rated. I need to haul 1800lb sacks of pig food. Long story short, I took a 2020 3500 limited dark series overnight. Beautiful looking truck. Don’t think I can get used to the stiff ride. it also annoyed me that the new 1500 cabs are sweet, and the HD cheaped out and keep my gen style.
Fast forward to today when I picked my ‘17 up from the shop after the Readylift 4” SST install. Love it. I’m gonna keep this truck for a while now. I’ll dump some cash into my ‘01 2500 Cummins dually conversion farm truck, and it will tide me over and solve my itch.
Before and after pics of my truck attached
. Same great ride as before, the steering does seem a bit over responsive. Probably just need to get used to it.
Farm truck work in progress.
