Agree. Get a 3/4 ton in that same model year range and you get the 6.0 and the 6 speed, no AFM, and a better payload. Payload of my 2500 is 2,088 lbs. But even with that payload, I'm maxed out with my family of 5 (3 teenagers) that weighs ~830 lbs, and a trailer that weighs ~6,300 lbs.
My family of 6 was close to 1200-1300 lbs be the time you add us 6, along with sheet they brought along etc......probably more like 2000lbs if you include the bikes in the pickup bed, canoe, etc.....
