All,
I currently drive a 2019 1500 Laramie Hemi with the CrewCab and the 6'4" bed. I'm thinking about a new truck eventually, and since build times have quite risen lately it would make sense to start thinking now.
What my 1500 doesn't have but I've fallen in love with are the RamBoxes. Now RAM doesn't build the 1500 in that configuration (CC, long bed, RamBox), but it's available in the 2500. Since I don't actually need a 2500 for its capabilities and I don't want to sacrifice the ride quality, I wouldn't want a standard 2500. I guess that leaves me with a PowerWagon and its softer suspension.
I know this is the PW-subforum, so I know what y'all are inclined to, but my question to PW-owners (who maybe came from a 1500) is: besides the known low gas mileage and the fact that the PW is mainly taller and heavier than my 1500, if I were to configure a Level 3 PW, would I have to sacrifice anything else? Or is it a mostly win-situation? Truth be told, I don't tow much or heavy, and I don't offroad either. It would be my only vehicle (plus one the wife drives) and thus be a daily driver.
Crazy idea or not?
Thanks!
