    You will only gain ~600 lbs of payload with OEM wheels and tires on any of the 3 SRWs. Is that enough?

    Wait for the free Cummins offer then buy the Ram for $9350 less than what you were quoted.

    Drive them all and pick the one you like the best. Don't think you can go wrong either way.

    For a 5er of that weight I would take a Ram Aisin 3500 DRW with 4.10's. SRW would be the same truck, but you are stuck with 3.42's.

    I'll 2nd Dave Smith, great prices.
