I have a 2004 RAM AWD 5.7L pickup with towing package. We tow a 6000# Travel Trailer with this pickup that has 120K miles. It tows the trailer well but given the mileage, replacement is possible. We've had this truck since new and love it.
What is difference between the 1500 and 2500? Is the frame structurally heavier? Are axle ratings different assuming same gear ratio? I don't know if diesel is needed given 5.7 experience. Transmissions have been considered a weak link but newer geartrain may eliminate that issue.
Looking for any advise you might have. Yes, we might go to heavier trailer so diesel power may make sense but it depends a lot on comments / recommendations you might provide.
Thanks in Advance!
