My buddy bought a 2500 Crew cab a few months back. He's a contractor and uses it to tow a JD Tractor. It's a sweet ride. Another contractor friend bought a 2500 cummins and likes it. They both drove the competitors too, funny they both stuck with what they previously had just a new model. I will say from a 94 cummins to a 2005 the ride is a whole lot smoother. My personal opinion riding in different trucks is I hate riding in a 3500 unless it's loaded down (really loaded with close to a ton not with camping gear) otherwise it's a stiffer ride and I'm not a fan of duallys unless your goose necking it. Maybe you can get a trailer to carry 3 rigs cause mine aint that fast and you need somone to keep you up on those long drives
