Yes and no. A modified PW, low gears, big tires, stiff suspension, etc is why I'm really tired of it, at least for a truck that spends all of it's time on pavement. A new 2500 with stock size tires, new front and rear suspension, and more efficient engine and gearing solves these problems. I'd get into a roomier truck with softer ride and at least 15 MPG highway, or better from what I'm reading. That's a step in the right direction. I also compared the weight of the two trucks with the info on the Ram body builders guide and the 2500 Mega is only 1300 lbs heavier. That's pretty impressive.
The 1500 would do everything I want to do but I just have a feeling that I'd regret not getting the Mega...
Figuring the price for 87 octane vs diesel and 15 MPG vs 25 MPG, the Mega would be about $1000 more per year in fuel for 12k mile per year.
