The Ram Classic is plenty quiet and nice inside, and the V6 with a higher diff ratio scoots along quite well, even in a crewcab 4wd. I wasn't a big fan of the 5.7 in my Dad's 2018 SLT RAM as it needs 89+ octane, or it pulls lots of timing at low rpms and makes it feel a bit like a 90's Civic hitting vtec... A bit grumbly with the cyl deactivation at 55-60 mph. The rest of the truck was nothing but good, super simple inside, comfortable. The 5.5' bed is not big, especially with a cover on it.
If just want a pickup for the utility, and you aren't towing something heavy enough to need a pickup towing capacity, I would recommend just a utility trailer to do anything a 2wd pickup bed will do, and most of it better IMO. We built a house and run our hobby farm quite well without a pickup. Then a 30mpg vehicle can haul 1500lbs of whatever once in a while, and a trailer is much easier to load, unload, and you can just drop it, and unload it later, or hook it up the atv and pull it around the back of the house. Its a work bench, saw horses, painting racks, whatever you want to do, and no worries about scratching/denting it.

. Some new toy to enjoy. I enjoy driving and will like to try a truck. The Hemi sound is convincing after watching couple of videos lol. Work is like 20m away from home, 4 days a week. And yes once in a full moon move a sofa.
