In March I traded a 2013 F350 CC diesel 4x4 LB SRW in on a new 2016 Ram 3500 CC diesel 4x4 LB SRW. Both equipped the same. But mostly I traded the Ford 3267# payload for the Ram 4018# payload.
I used be a Chevy guy but I really like the Ram. Like the Cummins long stroke, low RPM 900 ft lb torque with the Aisin transmission.
Get the Laramie with heated/cooled seats. I also got the upfitter switches, wheel to wheel steps, 5th prep, sprayed bedliner, and Sirius/XM.
Pulling a 12,500#GVW Montana HC 5th. Usually get 10.5-11.5 MPG. With the 3.42 rear gear I sometimes lock out high gear, but I may not in the future.
Some say they don't like the mirrors but I can see better with them than the Ford.
9,000 trouble free miles. Yeah I like it.
