2013 ram

Hello,
I know this question is one only I can answer but want some input.
Thinking about trading my 2013 2500 hd 6.0 373 ext cab for a 2013 short cab long bed Cummings 3500 single wheel Asian with 410's.
I'm getting 14mpg and 9 pulling my camper.
What do y'all think?
Thanks
Jim

    My thoughts are you will miss the back seat, and likely will not get much better mileage. You didn't say what you are towing. Since both vehicles are SRW they probably have about the same payload. The 4.10 ratio offers some advantage to towing, but 3.73 is adequate. Seems to me like you are going to take a big hit on depreciation and not gain much.
  • I think you'll take a serious beating financially. Nothing wrong with either truck but trading a 2013 for a 2013? Really?
