Let me guess⌠The main difference is in the axels and spring

I like the old mirrors too. Heck, I like when the interior of the 2500s looked like the interior of this 3500. Bench-like front seat with a huge center armrest, dash off the floor, more truck, less car.

Itâs nice to see the 2500 still has a GVWR under 10k. In my jurisdiction thatâs the breakout for requiring commercial inspections even on personal vehicles. A lot of people were pretty unhappy when Ford first rolled over that line by less than 50lbs. Not enough capacity to mean much more than extra time and expense. Rolling past scales isnât so much of a concern for me because I live in the middle of nowhere, but there are also places that require you to pull into the scale at that weight.

Something important you missed. 4500 & 5500 use 4.44 standard or more commonly 4.89 rear axle ratios. Youâre in 6th gear by the time you hit 35mph with the 4.89. The 3500 diesels use 3.73 and wonât shift into 6th until 55mph.

4500 review section sounded so emotional đ

Sunday TFL! Sunday buddy video! TFL, my pot of coffee, my pup by my side and the house peaceful and quiet - great start for my Sunday!

This is actually all old news. A ford guy will not like them and a ram guy will not like ford. Every vehicle on the road will have a break down of some sort at some time. Itâs a roll of the dice

Just sold my 22 2500 Cummins, biggest differences are. The ride in a 2500 is second to none. Coils for the win. Also 68rfe is more road friendly, shifts quicker and smoother then the Aisin,
Now have a 24 3500 limited night edition with airbags. The extra power from the HO is very noticeable empty or loaded with a trailer, also the Aisin is a straight up pulling tranny, I donât mind how it shifts, it does like to lug in low rpm, smartens up with tow haul, also note the HO and Aisins exhaust brake works at a slower speed, 3500s run like lumber wagons when empty. As expected itâs for payload and towing. Get any weight in it and sheâs like a Cadillac. Also these are my work trucks. Work in Canada in the mountains in oil and gas. Hot summers, cold AF winters. And best part Cummins doesnât require the cab off to do simple maintenance or service. Ford and Chevy do, so your $47 dollar part turns into a $2700 bill real quick.

Ram HD is getting old, but I recently cross shopped a GMC AT4X 2500 vs the Ram 2500 Megacab Limited. I was able to get the Ram cheap enough to cover a Carli Eventure suspension system, supplemental air bags to have the smoothest HD ride possible, or can be loaded up for towing. And Ram offers active lake keep which somehow the GMC still doesn't have. Ford Tremor is a great truck as well but the local dealer is awful for service and they're asking the most money.

Great video guys. Love the back to back test drives, and side by side comparisons.
I really like that you included a turning radius test as well, I think some sort of turning radius test should be done in all the truck videos. Great job guys!

One reason for the 10k gvwr is a little related to taxes. If a vehicle is over 10k it doesn't qualify for some exemptions or something like that.
I'm sure Ram talks to their fleet customers and they say please do not change the GVWR
Another reason is any commercial vehicle over 10k gvwr needs a medical card so depending on what the vehicle is used for, the other trucks wouldn't work.
That screen is a joke in 2024 tho

I would love to see you guys do a long term review with a 4500/5500 series. Ram truck possibly a camper truck with a built in camper

Ugh, Daylight savings time, when will this madness end? Oh, and thanks for the great video.

I have a 21 3500 HO Tradesman. It was ROUGH riding in NE PA horrible roads. I put a Thuren suspension (stock ride height) under it with their FOX shocks and sulastic shackles, 17" wheels and 35" tires. It was a massive increase. I drive it regularly from PA to CO. I think it's perfect for me. I have a slide in truck camper for it.
I ordered the truck in 2021 and it was $56,500. I think those prices are long gone. I have the 8" dash screen, floor shift, vinyl floors, plow prep, bed liner, goose neck prep, skid plates and that's it. Ohh and the granite crystal metallic paint that's a $200 option.
The Aisin shifts wonky until it's completely warmed up. The exhaust brake is crazy aggressive, but a must have for towing.

I have a 2011 ram 4500 regular cab 4x4 manual transmission 120â CA with a very heavy duty flatbed dump. I haul 6 tons of material on it daily and it has done incredible. Almost 500,000 miles on it now. Rebuild the top end once and replaced the trans once and been through a few clutches of course.
Buying a new 5500 soon.

My wife and I bought a 3500 in 2019, standard output cummins, lots of tech goodies at the time. 69k and change. To replace that truck today, similarly equipped, would be almost 85k. It's crazy how much more expensive everything is. Especially since almost nothing has changed in 5 years.
I'm not sure why ram still holds the 2500 line at 10k GVWR. I had a newer 2500 Silverado in the shop about a month ago with 11,300lbs GVWR. My 3500 ram is 11,800lbs.

The 2500 is the queen of pavement princess, Midlife minivans. It is bought primarily by well off middle-aged men who have kids and need a minivan. However because they're middle-aged; they desperately don't want a minivan. As a result they convince themselves that this truck with it's "Indestructible" Cummins engine is better and more practical. They say they can carry a load of stuff (It can't they bought the short bed), and that they can tow whatever they could need (it doesn't matter he might tow one thing and that will be just to show that his "truck" can tow), and how much fun it will be to go off-roading with it (He will never take his baby on mud ever, or take it on anything that your ordinary FWD sedan wouldn't be able to handle).

Yes please Ike cab chassis trucks! Iâd be very interested to see towing mpg and Ike tests on the CC trucks.. also would love to see some comparisons vs standard pickup dually.. Iâm a hotshot trucker myself, currently running just a DRW 3500, would definitely like to see how CCs stack up.

My company gave me a 24 ram 2500 bighorn. Its well equipped and does everything I need it. We haul scaffolding with a 25 ft gooseneck

It was so funny listening to them talk to each other in the 4500 once it got up to speed. The vibrato in their voices was hilarious.đ¤Ł
