2016 Ram 3500 Laramnie mega cab

mega cab. They are available with the short bed only if thats important.

I see that in the specs, but I will tow more and haul in the cab more than I will in the bed.

I'm partial to Ford, but all 3 are good trucks. I say drive them all and buy what you like the best, assuming it has the specs you need. They are all pretty reliable and will tow a small house (or even a large one, for that matter) if you ask them too.

Or you could go this route....

Well, I did not want this to be a brand war. I can own any of them (big three) and be happy. I have always owned Ford due to family farming business and good fleet deals, I was just looking for good value for my money, now that I am not around the farm anymore.

BTW- For the ram folks, is the ram mega cab something worth having?

Yes. The extra room is great for stuff like hunting gear, dogs, kids, etc... I love mine.

I certainly didn't mean for them to read that way. I like dodges. There is no doubt properly spec'd they blow the others away. Like I said I have owned four. I was going to buy another one when I was searching for a dually back in October but the local dealers didn't have any of the high spec one and I didn't want to have to wait to order one so I got a 2016 GMC. Granted it isn't rated much higher than the non Aisan rams they had on the lot but it was considerably cheaper. I don't really care about the brand name I just buy trucks to get a job done. I also own a 2015 F-250. I am the least brand biased guy you will find. At one point I was driving a ram 2500, our other work truck was a F-250, and our crew was riding around in a suburban. I was just pointing out that at least in my area what the dealers have on their lots are not the 30k+ tow rated trucks you see on the commercials. As to GM not having tow ratings online they are listed right here. https://www.gmc.com/content/dam/GMC...1_Images/2015-gmc-trailering-towing-guide.pdf

That's the 3rd time you have made the exact same exact point. The 1 dealership you looked at didn't' have the 30k rated model. We get it. It's clear why you are in this thread at this point. If you really wanted the more expensive and higher tow rating you would have found one at a different dealership but that's not what you were shopping for so it' didn't' matter.

Same with your comments about wanting a long bed. If you want to talk about why you picked the truck you did maybe you should start a thread instead of derailing this one with negative comments about what the OP is looking at.

Wow, this is interesting, would have never thought of it.


Thanks for the comments, I am in the hunt for a mega cab 3500, but I am not ruling out the other brands (ford has really good end of year incentives). I just have to convince the banker to let me sneak a golden egg from under the goose. I paid about $22k out the door for my 97 f350 dually back then, boy have prices gone up. Seems my income did not keep up as good.

For 22k now you can still get a new truck, just may have to delete the engine, tranny, and interior but.......

That conversion is pretty neat, would be a challenge to get that bad boy in a parking spot at the mall during Xmas.
