Went from 1 ton to 1/2 ton and couldn't be happier

This spring I traded in my 1 ton e350 van for a new dodge 1500 hemi Ram. I read guys say these new 1/2 ton trucks have came a long way. OMG.. their was a huge when going from my old f150 to my e350 and I would say I am about equally impressed going from my e350 to my ram 1500. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the new 3/4 ton would even do better but these 1/2 tons tow trailers within spec great. I even like the p rated tires because they handle great and I don't have to keep messing with the air pressure loaded vs unloaded. I leased it and plan on getting another 1/2 ton for sure.


What's not to like?

Better mpg towing
A lot better mpg solo
More power than my v10 when towing
It's like driving a hotrod solo
Much better power band in each gear with new 8 speed transmission
Better handling with and without the trailer
Way cheaper lease deals
Rides night and day better
Oem break controller blows my old prodigy out of the water
