If you're getting a 3rd gen, get a 3/4 ton.

How do you know they were produced for farmers?

Farmers don't use half tons. And there is something called a special order worksheet. Which allows you to order stuff. Provide me one shred of evidence that they were produced for farmers only and I'd give you cred.

It seems that 4x4's with IFS generally sit a bit lower than those with a solid axle.

^Yep. And 4x4's with leaf springs generally sit higher than those with coils.



Or, at least that's the case when comparing Rams.

Farmers around here drive any old POS pickup that runs, they don't seem particular at all. _shrug_
