Well I am actually thinking now to just move to the 1500.  I am pretty sure it will do everything I need it to do.  I know I will enjoy the daily driver ride being better.  I am sure I will miss some of the badass diesel and big ass truck stuff I like about my 2500.  I think I can get over it.  If all fails, I can eat it and go get a newer 2500 diesel again.  I think tonight…..I am deciding to go ahead and purchase the new 1500 AT4.  Hopefully it will be here after the 1st week of December as scheduled.

Did you consider a 3.0L 1500?

 

I went from a 2018 2500 6.6L to a 2021 1500 3.0L.

 

Doing the same job my 3.0 is getting a little more than 6 mpg better than the 6.6L did. 

(I log every tankful, and I'm surprised it's that much better too)

 

'15 and '16 6.2 and 5.3 (both 8 speed) that I ran both got about 20 - 21.

 

The 19.0 mpg over just under 30,000 miles vs 25.6 over 16,000 miles. 

 

None of these trucks were lifted/leveled, so the 1500's not as tall as the 2500.
