Went from a 2006 Ram to a mid size. The Ram was titled as a 1500 but the 2006 Mega cab had all 3/4 drivetrain and the guy that had it before me put 1 ton springs in the front and a extra leaf in the rear. IT was a big truck never had any issues besides normal wear parts 265K.
Sold it and got a 26' Canyon, 310 hp 4 banger, only 35 hp less than the huge tired Dodge. Ive had it a month and have towed the boat a few times up and down the Branson hills. Not just saying this because I blew a crap load of money, but it tows so much better than the Dodge. The little 4 cylinder is a monster.
Heck I towed my boat last year with my moms Subaru Ascent and it was great too. these new little Turbos are great. Not sure on the long haul but ill trade it in 2 years either way (Its the new company car..lol)
