I have a 2005 dodge 2500 diesel. 2x4
if you are sure both trucks can pull your load, the main advantage I see is the 2500 will have much larger brakes.
when some dude pulls out in front of you, you cannot have enough braking capacity.
my 2500 pulls our 27Ft trailer great, but it is a diesel,
however, the brakes are disc all around and much better than the brakes on my old chevy 2500 with drum brakes on the rear.
I have enjoyed owning my dodge 2500 truck quad cab, drives good, rides good and has power out the yang yang, plus with the larger disc brakes it stops good.
so far, I am sold on the 2005, 2500 dodge
I would buy another one,
