Hi Axe - I'm new to the forum, considering getting a 2500HD ZR2, and appreciate your review.
Would you say the ZR2 has a more comfortable on road ride than a standard 2500HD? (or one with Z71 shocks?)
I plan to tow either 6k or 8k+ lbs several times a year (although I would like the capability to tow about 10k), so HD capability is a big plus...but I also want to keep the on-road ride as comfortable as possible. Off-road performance is not a priority, as I plan to keep my lifted Jeep Gladiator in 40s - which is what I currently use to tow my 6k lb race car trailer. Believe it or not, even in 40s, It actually gets the job done....about as well as my old 4th Ram 1500 Rebel - apart from the miserable lack of power, that is.
I know I could get away with a 1500 ZR2 for my towing needs, and the ride is of course more compliant than any HD, but I'd really prefer the additional capability of the HD, so I'm trying to determine which model is the most comfortable on the road when not towing.
I drove a diesel 2500 LT, but no HD ZR2s in stock to compare it to.
Thanks for your input and thoughts.
