Looking to upgrade to a Ram 2500 and looking for some advice. Would love a diesel but most likely going with a gasser (cost). And I am pretty much set on a 2019+ Ram 2500 (open to a 3500). Getting something with 4WD and crew cab. Do not want DRW.

Wife and I along with two little ones. We currently have a Outback 23RS. No immediate plans to upgrade camper but I could see us getting something a little larger down the road. We go 6-10 times a year and usually stay within 150 miles from home. When not camping will be a daily driver with mostly short commutes (20 miles or less)

My question is what should I be looking for (or what should I be steering clear of) in terms of transmission, gears, anything else ... ?
Or given our habits, does none of this matter *all that much* to the point I should just look for the best deal out there?

Thanks!
