2015 RAM 3500 VS 2015 GM 3500?

[pressure_welder]

Good morning fellas, ladies! hope everyone is well. While this isn't a "which should I buy" thread I thought it would be an interesting thread to start to get opinions from both sides.

my story.... My wife and I factory ordered a 2015 GMC sierra Denali dually back in the summer of 2014, we drove it for a year and loved it, I deleted it and the mileage sky rocketed. towed amazing, and gave us great reliability.

Fast forward to august 2015 after we get back home from the lake, a close family friend brings over his new 2015 RAM limited cummins, ive always been a fan of the cummins engine but didn't think a whole lot of dodge/ram interiors MOSTLY because I hadn't been in one since the old body style and interior. Needless to say I was blown away by the limited interior and all the options and creature comforts that the limited had versus my denali. I have always said I never did buy my GMC's for their interiors rather the duramax/Allison combo, while I believe GM did pick up there game in the 2015s I still feel they lack some very common sense ammenties that should come standard on a
80,000$ truck.

Long story short, my wife and I decide to go check out a 2015 RAM cummins the following week, wife never usually says anything about our trucks just "as long as itll pull our camper/boat to the lake" Ive never seen her so excited about a truck. Anyway as of October 2015 we've been driving a 2015 RAM 3500 dually limited with aisin transmission. Being a GM guy all my life and having owned 5 duramax's I can honestly say I am extremely pleased with my switch to RAM, performance wise I am sure the trucks will be on par stock for stock. However I feel RAM has taken a very bold step forward in providing what I refer to as a "luxury" interior with amenities that I feel should also be standard on my denalis ive owned. I must also confirm that I still LOVE my duramax trucks ive had flawless KM on every single one ive owned. I think we switched this time just strictly on an interior basis. I also love the fact that its completely "turn key" tow ready from factory, just set your fifth wheel hitch in the bed and go, HOWEVER these puck style hitches are **** expensive.


So I guess my purpose of this thread, is not to start an argument of what truck is better. Rather to see who may have made a switch either way, your opinions, your likes/dislikes, and how you feel one tows over the other? I personally have yet to tow with my RAM... camping season is incredibly close for us and I have a severe itch to hook up and pull with this thing to get a compairison.

cheers!

So I just went the other direction, traded a 13 ram 3500 for a new Denali 3500

I miss the push to start feature and agree the interior is very sharp on the ram. I loved the look of the leather wrapped dash.

What I don't miss is the 3.42 gears, the Aisin was always hunting. Also imo the ram ride quality is inferior to both ford and gm. Over expansion joints my ram felt like it was punching me in the kidneys.

In September we went from an old 2001.5 RAM to a new 3500 SRW Laramie SB Crew Cab. I call it a cowboy Cadillac! The interior, heating/cooling, 8.4 Radio, controls, full center console and 7" digital EVIC are all really really nice. With the 3.42 gears and two overdrives it is an effortless high speed cruiser on the road, yet with the low first gear in the Aisin it tows the trailer great.

My only wish would be for a front camera, which can be fixed for around $500. hard to tell where the front is when parking, so I back in a lot.

Another thing is that this winter in our Arizona snowbird park new RAMs are hatching all over the park, new RAM births are much higher that the other two.
