Sorry I started such a storm by being happy I purchased a new truck. My truck is not better than yours, it's just happens to be the one I liked. It also just happens the truck is a Ram. I was hoping to share my new toy with others that share the same interest.
One reason I started this thread is my new truck has a diesel engine. No I'm not saying everyone needs a diesel, I have pulled many miles with a gasser. This is my first diesel engine. I am sure I will have questions about my truck and it's needs before my journey ends. Thanks for all the positive comments on my new purchase. I'll let you know how it pulls in a couple weeks.
My first truck upgrade was from a Class 1 4-cylinder normally aspirated diesel to another Class 1 with a large 4-cylinder gasser. Acceleration improved greatly but that previous little diesel did great towing even when compared to the 400cc larger gasser.
I went from the Class 1 truck to a Class 2B truck with V8 turbo diesel - Talk about a change in vehicles...
My last change was from the Class 2B to a Class 5 with 6-cylinder turbo diesel and this wasn't even comparable to my previous upgrade.
Enjoy that new truck which is the best choice for your use.
