Back and forth between F250/Ram 2500

First yes the RAM HD trucks are "assembled in Mexico. I don't like that but not enough to deter owning the best of the big 3 IMHO. Fact is the majority of the components come from USA along with the Cummins/Aisin and American axles. Fish will come along and tell you the Cummins block is from Mexico. This is true, the nickel content is high and makes a good quality cast iron. The block is Machined at the Cummins engine plant.
Fords Diesel is MADE IN MEXICO. I think Ford makes great trucks but the engine is what what stops me from buying a Diesel Ford.
GM makes a great truck also but I feel the RAM/Cummins/Aisin is a much stronger combo. It would be my second choice.
As far as 2500/2500 I would start off right and go with the 3500 SRW LB with the Aisin and factory rear air. With this combo you can safely tow a 14K 5er. Also with the rear air ride you will not need bags and with the long bed you won't need to buy a slider and limit your self with toolbox storage.
