Stay with 1500 or go with 2500?? Need some imput

^ ha! We traded our 6.4 mega cab in for a New 18 1/2 ton.. but I just couldn’t say no.. got way way to good of a deal.. Anyways, this truck is now my wife’s.” She loves it more than the mega cab” .. I’m waiting for a 8 speed before I get into another 3/4 ton.

The 3/4 ton up trucks are designed for Weight period.. from pulling to stopping. They are more planted, and feel very secure “ I can’t stand the body roll “ in our 1500.. irritates the fck outta me. At the end of the day, it’s what ever you like. Just don’t be that guy towing a 5thr with ur V6 half ton....

Funny, we've owned half tons and my wife is the one stubborn about keeping the 2500. She says it's a real truck and half tons are cars with beds lol. She especially hates rotary shifters lol. I got a keeper! Even though I'm the one entertaining dropping to a half ton, maybe I should give her my man card

Hand her that with your monthly gas card bill. I'm spoiled with my 8 speed rotary knob 30 mpg diesel.

"Fuel economy" and "3/4 ton" are mutually exclusive terms. Once we've reached this level of toys/tools, we can afford the gas. Go big or go home!

Move the ice chest and luggage into the trailer over the axle(s), and your problem will most likely take care of itself.

That’s my plan this weekend. I’ll pull onto a scale and check just because I’m kinda ocd that way. I have twin beds over the axles, so I can put stuff on those.

Had 1500 Rams for years. Great for pulling a 2 horse trailer. But when you go bigger, the 2500 is a must.
