Oh ****, what did you go and do???? Lol
Buddy has a '13-2500 CTD Mega, very nice truck. The room in the back seat is crazy!!! Ride is very nice as well. He now has a 5ver with the 6'x" bed the Mega has and with an auto slider (Pull Rite I think), had not had any issues at all. Though they have only been on 3 trips so far since purchase this spring.
IF you consider the Ram Box, only the Reese Sidewinder will work without the need to modify the pin box. A situation where when the salesman's lips moved he was lying!
As for sb vs lb.... How old are the kids? What about a Mega Cab if they are still younger? Maybe IB will post up his experience having a Ram sb with a 5ver and what hitch he has. Can't remember if he has the hitch listed in his signature or not.
Was this a 2500 or 3500? As you know, for about the same price the 3500 has about 1k lbs more payload. Not sure if it has the same rear suspension now or not though.
Sounds like the factory prep is not a must have in reading the thread about the new Ford being ordered.
Did you at least go check the new Chevy trucks out being a die hard for so long? That way you can say at least you compared them.
Good luck!!!!
