I have been looking at the Rams for quite a while with the way I will use the truck, I can't justify the diesel cost.
last night I pieced together a 2001, 2500 Quad cab, 4X4, 8' bed, with the 5.9 gas motor and a 5 spd manual tranny, 4:10 rear, 265 tires.
I want it to handle 2000lbs in the bed for work, and for play, tow my 53 Power Wagon on a good trailer that can handle the truck. I would hope to go to a few rallys a year. I would not be towing every weekend.
The sale brochure gives a max trailer weight rating at 8150lbs. I am trying to stay away from the V-10 because I already have a gas guzzler.
Any opinions?
Thank you, Mark
