I love my RAM 1500, it has the towing package and 32 gallon tank. I'm going to keep it forever but I really think you get more bang for your buck with the 2500.
Aww yeah! Sub'd! I also work in Education so I understand what you mean about it not being "SEMA worthy". Great looking truck, looking forward to the build!
I really, really, really wanted a ZR2 but priorities changed and I needed a bigger truck bed and more towing capacity but those are awesome trucks. Hope you get it and like others have said, be sure to post pics!
