While your at it pull off anything extra mods/parts etc.. the dealer ain't giving you credit for on trade in value and slap it on the new truck or sell it here or on craigslist to help finance the mods to the new truck. If you got the $$ go for it I say. Shame to see your truck go though it's one of my favorites in the forum.

If you like it when you drive it then go for it. You clearly know what you need out of a truck so if it fits your needs then it is the right truck for you. Do you have a link to the ad for the truck so we can get a look at it?

Truck for truck a 2500 Ram is 100,000 times better than a 1500 Ram.

If you do prfer the softer ride of a 1500 Ram, a 2500 is a tad rougher, but with right tires ( nitto dura grapplers ) a 2500 Rides extreamly well.

Hemi 2500 Rams out handel and out cornor the 1500 Ram thiers a lot to gained with front stearing stabalizer and no leaky rack and pions.

Drive trains and body are identical in LBS, the front diff and rear diff and springs don't add more than 300 LBs to the over all whight, MPG is really close to a mds hemi.

THe 2500 Rams are geared for power, not so much for accleration.

A CTD is the power performer, but a hemi 2500 with a 373 or 410 rear diff in a quad cab is a tough package.
