How tall are you?

lol, guys will spend thousands of dollars on near useless suspension upgrades, leveling kits, tires, etc but if you ask about a mattress you get shunned. Seems to be one of the more practical things someone would want to do to these trucks.

The F250 with 7.3 is appealing for the payload for sure. Almost 3000lb, or 1000lb more than a Cummins equipped 2500. Watching tow videos up the Ike here in Colorado makes me not interested though. It holds the speed limit but only with the motor above 5000rpm. You can’t beat a turbo vehicle in...

Good news! There’s at least 2-3” above my head in the non-sunroof model. Seems kind of crazy! Back in the Ram camp although the Ford tremor package is still really nice. From what I can tell the tranny issues should be fixed for 2022, all the threads I have found were from 2020. I’m waiting on a...

That’s great news. I’m going to try find a non sunroof model to sit in tomorrow before making any decisions.

Well... Curve ball today. I found a 3500 to drive- A 2020 Loaded Laramie 3500 that was on the Carmax lot with only 6000 miles. I'm 5'11.5" and with a hat on my head, my head firmly touches the roof of the truck with the seat all the way down. Even with my hat off if I sit upright I can touch the...

I don’t understand. The truck I’m looking to spec has a payload of around 3900 and a tow rating just under 20k? Or are you referring to the F150? If so I agree… I’m sold on the need for the 1 ton.

Thank you for this. I found your build sheet and ours will be very similar!

You’re not the first person who has mentioned ATC to me… I’ll have to take a look. Too funny I have a 2020 TE300i as well. I’m really contemplating removing the air ride option and just going for an after market alternative.

Does anyone have an opinion on Laramie vs Limited? There's a $4,000 difference between the two I have spec'd.

Thank you! Great looking truck btw!

Good point about the suspension. I need to look into the Carli setup and see if it’s worth saving the $1700 on the air ride and investing in that. I generally don’t like to do a ton of vehicle modifications though.

The 50 gallon tank will definitely be missed with the mega cab. I think swapping to a 50 gallon titan tank will be one of the first things I do when I get the trailer. My current F-150 gets about 700 miles to a tank with the 36 gallon tank and I’m a big fan.

Thanks everyone for the replies! Long distance comfort is also a priority for me so the Laramie I have spec’ed is basically fully loaded minus a moonroof. Does anyone know the difference between a loaded Laramie and the Limited? It’s a $5700 difference for the limited and I think the only...

I did test drive the 2500 and I liked it a lot. I’ve heard varying arguments about the 3500 being much worse though in ride comfort. That’s one of the reasons I’m planning on going with factory air ride. I understand our camping options will change- the Promaster was FWD and definitely got me...
