My business had a 2013 Ram 3500 Diesel with a 12' stake body. The truck was awesome for delivering steel and plowing all winter long. We sold it with 125K on it, and I bought a brand newFord 2500 gas truck. The Ford (bought brand new) had a new transmission put in at 7,236 miles (obviously under warranty) and now at 30K miles the truck has lots of electronic issues and the new transmission feels like its going to go in the near future.
The next truck im getting is going to be a ram. It is going to be a diesel. I don't know if I fall in the 2500 or 3500 category. If I fall in the 3500 category I don't know if there is any logic to me getting the high output cummins or just getting the standard one? This truck is going to be a daily driver, both country roads and highways. This truck would be a tradesman level truck, it is not going to be all dressed up or pretty looking. This truck has 2 work tasks-
-Must be able to carry 4000 lbs or more on it. Sometimes the truck would be loaded up every day for several weeks during the work day.
-Must be able to push snow better than a 400 horsepower gas truck (that part is obviously a joke)
Main question, 2500 or 3500? Does one treat the passengers better? Are there certain options that people consider must have that a non educated truck buyer wouldn't know about?
Thanks,
Woody
