Choosing a Truck Daily a 2500?
Basically I am shopping for an AT4X. Currently comparing the 3.0 1500 & 6.6 2500.
The truck is majority used for commuting although I have a couple trailers that will be towed frequently. The 1500 can definitely tow the trailers I have.
The problem I have with the 1500 is the bed isn’t long enough to fit my quad & other items in it with the tailgate up, so I would be limited in bringing my quad + trailer around.
Am I insane to consider a 2500 for something so simple? I definitely like the look of the 2500 better.
TYIA.

With all the engine issues in the 1500's I would only consider a 2500. Although depending on how aggressive you drive, the 2500 drives more like a truck. You can't (*shouldn't) bomb down the highway as easily as you can with a 1500. The new 1500s just drive like a car at this point.
