Looking to get a 2014+ Ram but I don't know which one. Any suggestions?

I'm stuck between The R/T, Single Cab Sport 4×4, and a Crew Cab Rebel.

The R/T looks dope but I kind of want the 4x4 capability. Although I don't do much offroading here, I do plan to go to Mexico with it where it would be beneficial to have 4x4. There are some low mile R/Ts for around 20k

The Single Cab Sport 4X4 looks like a heavier R/T. However, for the 4x4, I'd do a paint match rebel front end, wheels/rims, and maybe do a rebel interior swap (door panels, bezels, and seats). I'd think I would look dope. As for the Sports, they are around the same price as an R/T.

Lastly, I really like the Crewcab Rebels and would love one. Decent milage ones run about 25k. There isn't much id change on the rebel apart from color matching the front end and rear bumper and maybe adding oem parksense to the front (is that possible from a programming point? I know the 5th generation has it but would it be simple to just add the button to turn off and reprogram the truck?)

The only other competitor would be a Single Cab 5.0 F150. If I can have my cousing find a minor damage salvage one, I would love to do a raptor conversion on it. Maybe lower it if its not 4x4.

Let me know your suggestions. I would love to be able to carry more than 1 passenger but I only really need it to haul my motorcycle which can only hold 1 passenger so I kinda don't give a **** about passengers.

I might be the minority here, but if you can find one with the RamBox system, I think it's the bomb. I'll never get another truck without it, super cool and makes life easy for man stuff.

Haven't seen many single cabs with them. However I did find a sweet loaded rebel with the box for 25k. The cargo management system would help a lot with most motorcycles being longer the the 5ft bed

oops misread the op. I vote F-150 with a v8. I like the fact the Ford has a normal size front bumper if ordered correctly. I like my sport but hate a 4x4 with a ground effect looking big bumper that looks like it should only be offered on 2wd. Every Lifted late model F-150 looks like a lifted 4x4 vs a lifted 2wd. Some after market bumpers look ok but most need about 40" tires so it don't stand out like Geraldo Riveras mustache, but thats just me . If you can afford a Raptor thats the ticket

I do like the 15+ f150s but if I get one its gonna be a single cab. And the single cabs interior is nothing compared to a Ram Sport/RT. However I would be cool to order some Raptor fenders from Fiberwerx and lower it if its a 2wd or make it look like a stock raptor if its 4wd.
