If you get the 2500, get the Hemi. If getting the 3500, go diesel.
I also tow a TT around 6/7k. Payload is everything to me with all the crap I bring during camping trips. If you go 2500 with a diesel, you'll have way less payload. Probably run out of payload before reaching your tow capacity...
I pretty much did the same as you. Even have the same same WDH.
Agree with everything, in addition I can drive with one finger whereas with the 1500 I needed both hands, tight grips too.
Get what you want. It's a big purchase, don't settle. A gasser or diesel will both handle that trailer well.
Diesels are more expensive upfront as well throughout the lifetime of the truck, whatever you get once you sell it will be a wash compared to a gasser. Diesels get old as a daily driver...

Have not adjusted WDH for this truck yet but I know I have to buy a shank with more drop. Old Cat Scale numbers were with my previous tow vehicle (2020 Ram 1500 classic CC, 4x4 hemi). Truck was loaded with wife, mom, two kids with baby seats and myself, plus misc camping...
Yup, go through every system. I did a eyeballed everything on my trailer when buying it and when I brought it home found the heat wasn't working and a few other things. Take your time and have the guy do the inspection. Often when buying things, we don't have a clear head.
I'm trading my 2020 1500 classic (Crew cab,, 5 ft bed,4x4 hemi) for a 2021 2500 crew cab, 6ft bed hemi 4x4. Since the bodies are similar do guys know if the same side steps will fit?
