Jumping off the Diesel Bandwagon - UPDATED
Well, after two Cummins diesels that I thoroughly enjoyed, I am going to place a factory order for a RAM 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi, 4.10 gears, rear air suspension, Laramie and plenty of added options. ...

I'm comparing MY two trucks - the one I have now, and the one I ordered. That's the way they are equipped.

Thus we have what we call grocery getter trucks(and your dozen eggs are safe), they are however not the trucks your father drove. No more install a set of air bags on your 2500 and it will do the job of a 3500 SRW.
Understood. It seems this thread started with lots of discussion on the new 6.4 gas engine; and is ending with a major difference of opinion regarding coil springs vs. leaf springs as it applies to hauling and towing. I certainly would not consider the new 6.4 gas or your 2007 Cummins a grocery getter. My 2005 Cummins has a payload of 4700 pounds and I have carried an approximately 4000 pound camper on it. It handled it well after air bags and overload suspension bumpers. But I guess perception is reality and reality irrevelant in these discussions and to the Volvo and Freightliner drivers a one ton pickup is the grocery getter. In 2007 you purchased a truck that was 'state of the art' at the time to be a workhorse for your RV; time has moved on and technology has passed by the 2007's capablities, but that does not make it any less of a truck nor does it make it a grocery getter.
