Hey all, would like some input on the new Ram 2500 CC. I currently have a 2015 F250 SD and tow a 2015 Primetime Crusader 5th wheel with auto slider. Tows great, no prob but just not completely happy with Ford right now. Truck has 21000 miles and been in the shop more than my driveway it seems. I have been researching Ram 2500 CC short bed and so far it appears I will be trading in to get one. Just want some input on how this thing will tow, fuel mileage and such. I really like the idea on the auto level air suspension which takes place of the coil springs. Anyone have experience with this so far? Also was looking at the ram box bed with the tools boxes on sides of bed. Would this inhibit the 5th wheel hitch in any way? I know the issues of 5th wheel and short bed but would I need a slider?

Thanks for all the input.

The only way you can have the Ram Box and tow a fifth wheel is to have a pivoting hitch like the Sidewinder put on your fifth wheel. As for all you other questions, there won't be much difference between your current truck and the Ram except you won't see the dealer as much.

As for the air ride, you will wonder how you lived without it.
