2 years from now? No point in trying to figure out anything now..at all.
Is the old Ram gettin long in the tooth? Because you’re not going to gain any appreciable real world payload capacity with anything new from any of the big 3 even if yours is a coil 2500. Them things don’t mind 3k or more in the bed one little bit, with a set of bags or better springs.
The only real world gains by upgrading from that 4th Gen to any of the new trucks, aside from the new car smell and some fancier interior features is more power (especially if you have a SO/68 truck), and a better transmission (unless you have a G56 or Aisin, but the new 10 speeds and Rams soon to be released 8 speed are all “better” than even the Aisin or G56).
Payload is not an improvement. Unless you’re a go by the sticker only kinda guy AND have a 2500 currently.
