What does all this MEAN? TV help.
So, we bought a truck last year on a whim (Ram 1500), and then bought a rig. Didn't plan the 2 purchases out very well. Technically the 5er is within the specs of the truck....but we towed over I-70...

The Ford 6.2 is going to pull stronger than your 5.7, never mind the numbers on paper.
If you are set on gas, but will be pulling in the mts., I would go with the Ram 2500 6.4, with a 4.10 axle. I'm thinking you will make the best deal, trading Ram for Ram.
If for whatever reason, you want a Ford, then I would get the 250 6.2, with the 4.30 gears. I have the Ford, and can tell you that you will like the 6.2, and the brakes, on the 13 and newer. Ford also has a very good integrated brake contoller.
I'm still wondering why you would not just trade for the new Ram?
