Hi,
My current rig is 2014 Ford F-150 SuperCab upgraded with ride-rite air bags and E tires. I have a 2008 hawk. I'm definitely over payload of 1400 lbs fully loaded.
Don't notice it much, but have nothing to compare it to either.
I am starting to look at upgrading my rig as it is getting up there in miles. I keep the hawk on for most of the summer and it is periodically on during the spring and fall, and even less so in the winter. The truck is my daily driver.
I am trying to find something that meets my needs (can handle the hawk when it is on the truck and not a total gas hog when it is off the truck). I would still like to stay with a 1/2 ton. ( I know there are various opinions on this and I should be considering a 2500).
I like the specs of the Ram1500 and also looking at F150 with a "payload" package. Anyone with any experience with the Ram 1500s? The V6 and e-torque hemi both seem to get decent fuel economy and can be configured with payloads = 1800 lbs.
