![]() ![]() Yes, different configurations of the Ram 2500 with certain options offer more payload, but why bother with a 3/4-ton, especially if you want a 1,100-pound Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel. For instance, one crew cab, short-bed, 4×4 version of the Ram 2500 with the 5.7L V8 Hemi offers only 2,370 pounds of payload. ![]() This change means that many new Ram 2500s may have significantly smaller payloads than their 3500 counterparts. Not because coil springs, in general, are weaker, but because of the way they are tuned. Why? Because the leaf springs typically used in Ram’s trucks offer more support than the coil springs Ram engineers use. But this change, is some cases, also results in an impaired ability to haul a heavy load like a truck camper. ![]() Yes, the ride is much smoother and provides better articulation off-road. ![]() Their engineers claim this change was made to improve the truck’s ride. The most notable of these being the change to the rear axle suspension from leaf springs to coils springs. Any recommendation? Thanks!īryan, beware! The engineers at Ram made some significant changes to thpickup trucks. It appears that the 2500 can do the job, but it seems like you lean heavy on the one-ton. I do not tow at this point, but I want to be able to go off-road. I’m sold on the Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel, but I’m not sure between the 2500 or 3500, 2015 model. And it turns out I know the guy! So now I want to make sure I get the best truck to haul it. I just looked at a very clean and well-kept Lance 1997, 3000 Squire, one owner, for only $5,000. Hi, Mike! I’m just getting started with the truck/camper set up and after reading your informative Truck Camper 101 article I feel more informed. We recently received this email about matching the right pickup truck with a 1997 Lance 3000 Squire Truck Camper. ![]()
