1600lb payload vs 2700lb payload
CTD vs V10... I'd argue that the Ram will pull it better, the exhaust brake will control it better going down hill. I'm trying to remember the last year Ford put a V10 in the Superduty, probably a decade ago? What is the rear axle rating on that F250, compared to the 6500 lbs rear axle rating on the Ram 2500?
You are too focused on an arbitrary advertising number (10,000 lbs GVWR) rather than the actual functionality of the whole truck. But hey, to each his own.
I don't believe the dodge diesel weighs in 1100lb heavier, so even if it was the F250 with diesel, it still provides better payload.
Having a 500hp and 1500ft/lb of torque doesn't really matter if you are limited to a 5000lb 5th wheel.
I'm sure you know better than the manufacturer engineers, so you can exceed the ratings by 70-80% and all will be great.
