I can't compare it against the F150HD, but I don't mind my 6.4L Ram 2500 as a daily driver at all. I also tow in the 7k+ range. The truck I had prior to this was a '12 Titan, so a 1500 class.
The Ram rides very well, considering what it is. Turning radius is a little wider. It's a little taller. It barely fits in the garage height-wise. Gas mileage with no trailer is actually better than the Titan, although the Titan was known for lousy mileage. Bought the trailer after the Ram, so I can't compare towing mileage fairly between the Ram and Titan.
Test drive one, and see what you think. Ride quality is pretty subjective, as is "truckiness". I won't try to sway your decision between the two options. But they're both good trucks to check out. As long as it's capable of doing the job, pick the one you like the best.
