Hi all,
My name is Ryan and I'm a current ram owner(06 2500 diesel) and looking to downsize for better mileage and gain a crew cab for the family. I'm from Iowa and a heavy equipment mechanic for an earthmoving company. Because of my job I have always preferred diesels over gas for the efficiency. I have a few questions for current owners regarding the bed lengths. My current bed is the 6'4" bed and its been very acceptable to me for almost everything I've needed to haul. I've been looking at new ED's and can't decide if I want a crew cab with the longer bed or the shorter bed. Was curious if anyone went from the longer bed to the shorter on their new truck and found it as a pain in the butt. I haul lumber pretty frequently doing projects around the house. I can fit the longer bed truck in the garage but it'll be tight and I'm sure the wife would prefer the same length truck as my current one. Also how is the leather in the new Laramies to clean? My leather is solid so when I get it dirty I wipe it down but I see now they are perforated in the center and wondered if they are a pain the keep clean? Thanks for your help guys!
