That's not much when it comes to covering myself for a possible 5th wheel upgrade down the road. Seems like a 1 ton would be the way to go but it will also be my daily driver to the tune of about 30,000 miles per year.
How much of a difference is there in ride quality and fuel economy between the 3/4 tons and the 1 tons?
I went from a ‘15 250 to a ‘17 350, hardly any difference in rode or fuel economy. My payload went from 2250 to 3477. When people ask, I don’t even recommend the 250/2500 at all, always tell them to go straight to the 350/3500. The payload is the Achilles heel of the 250/2500’s to keep them in their weight class.
