I played the cat & mouse game for a few years. First I had a Dodge Dakota towing a PUP. Upgraded from PUP to TT and the Dakota was maxed out. So, I then went to a Ram 1500. Then upgraded TT to a larger TT and Ram 1500 was maxed out. So, of course I had to go to the Ram 2500.
Hindsight is 20/20 and I should have gone from the Dakota to the Ram 2500 skipping right past the Ram 1500.
I have always advised skipping the Ram 1500 :)
Sorry Dodge owners, I couldn't resist the ease at which I could throw that in HaHaHa :0
I've had all three vehicles you've describing for towing for work. The Dakota did very well for a small truck, but it was just too small for my needs. The 1500 was gas and did okay, but it went through a lot of gas full or empty load to run. The 2500 was also gas, but it was a lot better on fuel for some reason.
I also had a 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 Duelly with a six-speed manual for awhile to tow, it was fantastic!
The only reason I have a Sierra for towing is the side of the back seat in the crew cab. It is a lot bigger then the size of the back seat in the 1500 Ram, and I don't want a mega-cab version
