Ram 2500 vrs 1500 mileage

Has anyone seen the comparison on the dodge 1500 HEMI (with MDS) vrs the ram 2500 HEMI?

I have a 1500 and looking at trading in for a 2500 for a little more towing capacity.

    I believe you have the option of the 5.7 or the new 6.4 Make sure you are comparing both trucks with the same engine. The new 6.4 has around 45-50 more horse and a higher torque. From the posts I have read the new tranny acts as a brake somewhat going down hill. I would love one but it will have to wait for a while as long as my Dodge holds together.
