truck advice

[ericm979]

I'm still working on selling the camper van we no longer use before we start seriously looking at trucks. We'll test drive a 3/4 as it's been a long time since I have driven one. I wish that the sum total of the advice was all of the same opinion but that's what happens when you ask a question on the internet.

I'm not going to get a Cummins dlesel Dodge, so could we take that argument elsewhere?

Sounds like your Diesel engine experiences is very limited and short.

Okay, you win!

If you approach the test driving open minded, you may be surprised at the comfort leval and drivability of some later model 3/4 ton trucks. Good luck in your search.

It is quite unfortunate that the squabbling has clogged your thread, it adds nothing of value to you.

Keep another thing in mind, a 3/4 ton will seem to ride better when towing. The tongue weight will actually make the truck ride and handle better.

Unless you are able to get a newer Ram with the rear air ride but those are new enough that the used market might be a bit sparse.
I will say that GM probably has the best unloaded ride for a 3/4 but dropping the rear tire peessure down helps aby of them.

On my 3/4 the unloaded rear tire pressure is 45 and loaded is 70psi.
Huge difference in ride quality!

Will also stop better, stop safer and no worries on beating the truck or you up.
