So we also moved up, we were already diesel. 2001 Ram 2500 running about 1,700# over GVWR. Towed fine, but with 3.55’s and a 5 speed manual it was working to get the 12,500# 5er to speed. We had added a small chip and RV275 injectors, but it worked.
Now 2016 Ram Laramie 3500 DRW Aisin 3.73 towing capacity 25,000#+, towing is much more relaxing, and no issues getting to speed.
