RAM/Cummins test drive observations
I am currently towing with a 2006 F350 XLT Crew Cab with V10/4:10 which I purchased new. Truck is mainly used for towing and only has 69K miles. I drive a Focus to work daily. Plan is to buy a new ...

I have a 6.4 Mega Cab 2500 and love most of it. It has a 2900 cargo capacity due to the lighter engine. But all in all the 2500 and 3500 are the same with the exception of the rear spring rate. The 3500 has leaf springs and the 2500 uses coils. If this will be your daily driver go with the coils. Don't get the auto level as it'll actually limit your cargo capacity. If I were to do it again I'd go without the auto level (Mine has it) and install air bags. Even though it has coils instead of leafs, the axles, axle guts, wheels, bearings, axle shafts, tires are the same between the 2500 and 3500. Air up the bags when you tow and enjoy a really nice ride when you aren't. Being you don't have a 5th wheel the bags probably won't be needed, but should you upgrade to a bigger trailer you'll want them.
I love the Mega Cab. The legroom is about the same as the crew cab but the seat reclines and is much more comfy if you haul anyone back there. It is a long truck even though it's a 6'4" bed and a little harder to park and do U-turns with. Even though it has a bigger cab the interior storage is not much more than the crew cab unless you fold down those seats. Once folded down even my big 6'6" frame could sleep back there in a pinch!
