F250 or Silverado 2500?
Angry Perch:
It's about time for a new truck. Currently driving a 2012 f150XLT that I bought new, and have absolutely loved. I'm moving up to a 3/4 ton because I frequently tow a heavy dump trailer that is at the top end of the F150's capability. My biggest concern with moving up is ride quality, but admittedly the only 3/4 tons I've owned were 1979 and 1981 Chevys, so a lot has changed! Also want gas, and the shorter bed. Would like to hear about your experience with either.
Thanks

Our work trucks are Chevy 2500 diesels in the 2015-2020 range and they’re extremely powerful but at any moment you could lose your high pressure fuel pump and get a bill for 15k not covered by warranty.

My kids service work truck has a Ford gasser (7.3 or .2) He said it is reliable but sucks fuel like Rosie Odonell in a buffet. Again it has a service box so a lot of weight on it all the time.
I have a 2020 Ram 2500 6.4 and use it to exclusively tow (camper, boat, utility trlr) It has a ton power. I get 15mph empty driving like a church lady. As soon as you hook a trailer 10 is it no matter how you drive. It replaced a 2012 Ram 2500 and there is zero Comparisions. The 2020 is 10000% percent better in all facets.

I’ve got the new 2500hd with the 6.6 cast block and Allison tranny. It’s a nice ride and tows very well.
