Thanks for some feedback, guys.
Here are some additional info:
- Chance of upgrading my future TT will be close to nill before upgrading the truck, I'm in it for a long run. This will be a custom built TT suited for our needs. Since we will snow bird with this setup, we will drive roughly 8000 miles per year towing, and another 8000 miles not towing.
- I do realize that F150 will probably ride better but what about the Max Payload version? I hear that this version rides a bit truckier than the regular version. I'm hoping to hear from someone who has experience riding on both F150HD and Ram 2500 with coil or even air suspension. And yes, on Canadian 2016 site, I was able to equip high payload option on 3.5 Eco model. I do remember them not offering this in 2015 as well last year. I can test drive for sure but based on my past experiences with test drives, they don't always reveal all the subtle aspects of car's suspension behaviours.
- Is Ram 2500 bigger than F150 physically? I thought 1/2, 3/4, and 1t trucks are all similar in sizes... I'm only interested in the "CrewCab" variation with short beds so they all should come out close to 20feet-ish.
= Based on my own research, Ram 1500 with EcoDiesel would struggle to pull a trailer that weighs at least 7k, correct?
