Pondering between Ram 2500 or 3500
Hi guys and gals, I've finally decided to trade in my 2011 Ram 1500 for either a 2500 or 3500. I have an older heavy TT that has a tongue weight of 1,050 lbs. When loaded, we have about 7,500 to 8,...

sorry to reask but I cant quite get the responses into my exact configuration. Dealer has told me a new 2500 will be better (or the same) as a 2014 DRW 3500. I would like to get a much of a 'street style' truck as this will be my only vehicle. Will be pulling the following - is it really 50/50 on the used 2500 or mne 2500?

In my mind the three primary categories of consumer pickups are the following:
- Half ton
- SRW "heavy duty"
- DRW "heavy duty"
Then you have your MDT and above. I do not agree with your dealer that a new 2500 is the same as a 2014 DRW 3500. The extra tires come with a step up in capability, albeit with compromises. For a 15k lb 42' fifth wheel I think I'd want a DRW truck.
