What Truck, there are big differences in the 2013+ between the 2500-3500, the 2010-12 the only difference from 2500-3500 was springs and brakes.

A lot of owners in 2013 2500 got the shaft BC the only change was engine, the 3500 in 2013 got all the new FRAME,DL,ENGINE,STEERING,TRANS. The 2014 2500 received a new Frame and rear air with the new Steering. There are many changes that have taken place in the Ram truck line, Most have NO idea what they are buying.

Endless list of differences between my old 2011 and my new 2016.

The body looks pretty much the same.
Huge changes in frame, suspension, now with DEF, Aisin Transmission now, 650# to now 900#, headlights are twice as good, higher GVW for the same crewcab dually, almost twice the tow rating, way better trailer braking system, Radio/Nav system is better, info on the driver center stack is better, little LED lights light up the interior everything, duallies now have tire pressure monitoring, better seats, flat rear floor, fifth wheel and gooseneck prep.

The only thing I don't like now is the cruise control being 4 tiny buttons, I much prefer the stalke control cruise control I use to be able to just bump up or down or pull to cancel...

And towing and hauling mileage seems to be slightly better.
Running empty mileage is a lot better, my 2011 never got above 15 MPG, the new truck is getting just over 18mpg, almost 19 on long HWY runs if I keep the speed close to the speed limit.

I think after 2013, they also went to a front axle disconnect on 4x4's for improved fuel mileage.
I don't have that

Only the 3500 was equip with the new Axle the 2500 had to wait until 2014.
