2004 Ram 1500 to 2013 Ram 2500

I finally upgraded from a 1500 to a 2500 and what a difference! I towed my camper to the shop to have some work done and I could tell a noticeable difference. This is my first HD truck and I could definitely feel that the truck was way more stable than my 1500. The new 5.7L Hemi is fantastic along with the 3.73 gears. My old truck had 3.55 and less HP.

    Nice ride.... the 3/4 ton is such a better "tool" for the job. The 1/2 tons get it done but an HD truck gets it done barely breaking a sweat. Towing is just so much less stress in so many ways. Questions like, "should I bring it?" are not even a question. Just throw it in the truck. And while rolling it just feels so much better. Enjoy :)


    I noticed a big difference immediately. The truck feels much more stable and had more get up and go towing the camper.

    We upgraded to the same model. Then we traded in the TT for a 5th wheel and love the set up.

    Congrats on the new truck! Loved my 3rd generation, but the 4th gen is SOOOOO much nicer.
