I think the 09 has a slightly higher towing capacity, and it also has different options. you can get the storage bed (has compartments in the bedsides), and some interior upgrades as well. I thought the hp rating on the 09 was 390...i could be wrong though.

You could be right, I was looking at the 2500.

You would think the 2500 would be the same, but I guess it is not.

I have only read articles on the 1500, I admit I don't know anything about the 2500's lol.

09: more HP and slightly torque not enough to make a big difference I have driven both.

09: less payload and slightly better towing again.


Not worth the extra money right now, look for a left over 08'. just my opinion

Active intake manifold, higher compression, variable cam timing....not sure if the valves are the same size or not.
