Ram 3500 or 2500, plus empty ride?
I have a 10,000 lb. fifth wheel and looking at a new diesel Ram and trying to decide if 2500 or 3500 SRW. The 3500 adds 1700 lbs to payload and wonder if the ride empty is much different than 2500? I'...

If going diesel, I would get the 3500 SRW as it will have around 4000lbs payload (my 2014 has 4074 and about all options available on the truck). I think dually is overkill for a 10k trailer (I will be pulling a 16k GVWR toy hauler with mine). I use mine as a daily driver and it is fine, unless the roads are in bad shape. The 2500's with the different rear suspension ride smoother, but watch the payload capacity on them as it can get eaten up quickly. I hit a patch of interstate in Ohio last summer that about rattled my kidneys out (not towing anything) so it certainly doesnt ride like a half ton:)
