For those that have made the move to a 2500 Trail Boss that owned a 1500 TB

How was the change? I am looking at a 2026 6.6 Gasser, currently own a 2024 LT Trail Boss Premium package. I do not really need and HD truck, but looking more so for reliability of the 6.6 gas. I have equity in my 2024. Found a 2026 2500 TB with 15k miles. How is the ride compared to the 1500? How much bigger does it actually feel? Unfortnately, there are none available near me to go test drive. Do regret upgrading to the 2500 or love it? Just looking for any insights to help me decide whether or not to pull the trigger. Thank you.

For reference I had an 02, 15, and 2020 2500 before I got the 22 1500 and now back to my current 25 2500. Yes, unloaded it rides more stiff. Yes, it feels bigger, is harder to park and turn, and is real close to not fitting in a standard garage. Yes, the gallons per mile is worse and costs more to fill up because of the larger tank. It is a larger truck. Do I regret it, no.
The drivability and “largeness” is all what you get used to and won’t notice it until you’re in an airport parking garage . When I need to pull 4 tons of fertilizer or a tractor with bucket and brushhog it does what I need it to. Not trying to convince you one way or the other. It’s also not a narrow trail rig.
