F 250 vs Ram 2500
The wifey and I are discussing a new truck in the next 2 years. Right now we have a 2013 Ford F 150 SCAB long box. When we have children, she wants a crew. I cannot give up the 8 foot box. AFAIK no on...

The 2500 Ram has coils springs on the rear. Not the best for max loads.
My coil springs are rated for 6500 lbs, WAY more than a 10,000 lbs class limited truck needs. Also I've noticed Fords have a saggy suspension with weight, something I haven't seen with the newer Rams. I respectfully disagree with your comment.
Standard F250s are soft too. Well, not soft but compliant with light/no load, very similar to how the Ram coils ride.
Sure, both can “handle” a 3000lb load, both barely and doing the Carolina squat.
Point is, none of this matters. Aside from maybe if you’re planning on a truck camper which is not good with the Ram coil design.
All of them can be shored up with suspension adders and being around all 3, all 3 3/4 tons will need something to help once much over a ton in the bed.
Unless you like the Carolina squat look...
