Pick any brand/engine/gears you like.
I'll start...
A) 2014 Ram 3500 SRW 6.4L Hemi/4.10
B) 2014 Ram 3500 DRW 6.7L Cummins/3.73 or 4.10
ON EDIT: Maybe I wasn't clear. Those are my choices for the trailers A and B. What would you choose for towing trailer A, and what would you choose for towing the 5er in "B"?
For trailer A and B I would buy the newest F350 CC/ LB diesel. I love diesel, and use it as my daily driver.
I am pretty sure I will be going back to Ford again. I had a 2011 and it was a great truck.
OK, honestly not trying to start something here but I'm curious as to what you don't like about your '12 Ram.
I don't dislike the Ram. I miss the power of the Ford and I averaged 4.5 more mpg. I know apples to oranges as the Ford was DEF and my current Ram isn't. The other little things I kinda miss: the mirrors on the ford were better not a whole lot, but some and they power folded....that was nice. The backup camera was much better as was the premium sound system over the the premium one in my Ram. But the ram also has things I like over my past Ford, it's all really a non issue at this point. It's not like I plan on a new truck anytime soon. Just if I was to get one today....I do believe I would go back to ford but I would surely try a DEF equipped ram first.
I need to just bite the bullet and tune/delete my current Ram.
