No more gear jamming for you, I see. But maybe you'd have been tempted had it been a 5x4 twin stick.

If you LOVE your truck, clap your hands!
I really like my Ram 2500 diesel. Tows big loads in the mountains with ease. These big pickups are basically useless on anything but bare pavement without 4 wheel drive or a bunch of weight in the back. I've been back and forth across the country on the interstates with a load too many times in the past year. It's a nice comfortable ride.
Im not one to hold a grudge or badmouth businesses but I did not have a pleasant experience with Christopher Dodge in Golden. Probably OK if you are buying new but not used.

Love my truck.

2016 Dodge Ram, 6.7L Cummins Diesel, 4X4, Limited. After 39 years operating Ford dealerships, I almost hate to say it, but this is the best truck I have ever owned. Does everything well. Pulls our 2017 Classic effortlessly with a ProPride 3P hitch. The Ram Boxes are something I never thought I would need but now that I have them they are so convenient for towing. Wheel chocks, leveling blocks, stabilizer pads, WD jack wrench, etc. all stay in the Ram Boxes...no need to unlock a compartment on the trailer to get set up at the campsite. 13 to 14 MPG while towing, over 20 on the road without the trailer.

Ugh, I have a 2015 Sierra All-Terrain 1/2 ton. It obviously pulls my Sport 16 just fine, but this truck has practically lived in the shop 1/3 of the time I've owned it.
Transmission is quirky and slams into gear intermittently (dealer can't replicate it), power adjustable pedals and driver window are making horrible grinding noises, clear coat on one of the upgraded rims is bubbling, one strut started leaking, and the truck is shaky at high speeds. I have 20k miles on the vehicle. Maybe it's just a lemon lol.
I'm happy to hear you guys are having great luck with your trucks! This is my first GM product and it's been...something.

F350 working out well. Most of the usage is commuting, definitely way more truck than I'll ever need. It's a bear to back up the driveway and sucks gas but the security of its large size is great in city traffic. Tows well with or without WD bars and sway control. Gets the trailer up to 70 mph on any length entrance ramp. The frame under this thing is huge; hopefully I never have to find out how strong it is.
Unloaded definitely rides rougher than the Grand Cherokee Overland it replaced and handles like most 1 ton trucks. Can't take the exit ramps super fast in this and have to plan for the extra length when pulling out into traffic.

I'm not really a "truck guy" historically. It was weird that I really liked my '17 F150 Supercrew w/ the 3.5 Ecoboost when I got it. Then I did the long haul to New Jersey to get the 26U and I almost loved it. Then someone turned on the heat in Texas and I started regularly using the remote start and air-conditioned seats, now I definitely love it. 
Round-trip to Fort Worth for my mom's birthday last weekend without the Airstream, keeping up with the traffic (at least) in the 75-78 mph range, 20.5 mpg. On less than one tank.
