Any of you also have a HD 2500/3500?

Getting ready to (I think) do a factory order on a '23 limited. I have a '22 HD Cummins I got as a tow rig but wanting to replace my daily driver and thinking the truck utility would be nice in a more daily friendly package or towing smaller stuff. Curious if anyone else has a HD truck also and how you like the 1500 as a daily driver.

I have a 2015 3500 Cummins for heavy pulling, a 5th-wheel RV, and a 16-foot dump trailer. I had a 2013 RAM 1500 that I recently replaced with a 2022 RAM 1500 ED. As a daily driver and a vehicle to pull around my fishing boat, I love it. My wife and I recently took a 3,000-mile trip in it and found it easy to drive and very comfortable even after six hours of driving.

I have a 06 2500 Cummins and I will always keep it due to 5.9L and manual trans. (hard to find that are not trashed). I got the truck from a family member. I really don’t recommend a 2500 because not enough payload but it nice for getting my redneck on.

I sold my 3500 several years ago because of the CP4 and bought a 1500 in the mean time (actually 2 of them). I though I would use the 1500 for a daily driver till I figured out what I wanted to replace the 3500.
I have to say, I have really enjoyed daily driving the 1500. Very fast, comfortable, and maneuverable. Much more than the HDs. I’m always probably going to keep a 1500 for most of my daily driving and weekend warrior stuff.

I will say that I have hauled and towed probably more than I should with the 1500s and hate how it feels. I can’t wait to get a 3500 to haul and tow because I hate white knuckle driving.
But highly recommend a 1500 for daily driving.

I don't, but my buddy recently upgraded from a 1500 to a 2500 with the 6.4L as his daily. I've driven it a few times. Having not driven a 3/4 ton or larger, since we sold our '87 K20 I was impressed with its handling and comfort. The K20 was my wife's daily for a year. She loved it. It was an old fire truck.

My buddy loves his Ram 2500 . He pu'll a 26' camper and just enjoys the extra payload and better towing. I could easily live with it on a daily basis, but I would prefer the new Rebel 2500.

Do it, your butt and right foot will like it.
Plus, it’s fun to argue axle ratios.

I sometimes have my mother n laws 2014 2500 Crew 4x4 Cummins and it is very impressive on comfort, that said it still is quite a beast to park and MPG is not great.

Of her or the truck?

She is something, its pretty fun to watch her show all the old men how to back up a 40' 5th wheel. She used to be a truck driver so she has her Class A license and many years of experience.

It was pretty funny when she went to the dealership, she point blank told the sales guy, I want Diesel 4x4 with a "jake" brake, the guy looked at her like she was from Mars
