mlh....I still have not totally ruled out a 250/2500 even though I'd have to register it as a commercial vehicle. The fact that I couldn't use most of the freeways on Long Island makes it a hard sell. So if I can safely tow the trailer we want with a 1/2 ton truck I have to seriously consider it. What rear end was in the truck that you traded in?
BeerBrewer, the rear end was 3.92. In my opinion, besides actually being overweight, the engine just wasn't enough. It was also kind of squirrely on the way home. This may be fine in some people's opinion, but I had a 2500 before and knew how much better it can be.
I'm not trying to talk you out of a 1500 being you are in NY, just making you aware that the numbers on the website could be way off once you actually weigh it.
