Comparing Ram 1500s
Hi all. I'm looking at replacing my current truck, 2001 F150 Super Crew with a newer Ram 1500. I'm looking at the 1500s because I don't think I will truly need a 2500. We have a 2000 Coachmen 2790T...

Are the odometer readings similar?
While I would rather have the 3.94 rear over the 3.55, the oversize tires do effectively reduce your gearing, which is not to say you can't go back to stock tire size eventually.
Also, I have heard the 5 speed transmission has funny gear ratios or shift patterns, so the 6 speed transmission with the higher gearing might outperform the 5 speed.
