Today, I see a truck that has become available that is identical to my 2500 HEMI, except in 3500. It is SRW. It has almost 6,000# cargo capacity.
There is no one ton SRW any brand gas or diesel that can carry 6000 lbs in the bed as pin weight/5th wheel hitch/load of mill feed/etc.
A gas or diesel 3500 srw Ram rear axle (7000 rawr) weighs close to 3400 lbs leaving approx 3600 lbs for a in the bed payload.
Payload stickers are gvwr based and come from both truck axles.
You have the same engine in a 2500 truck so the engine in the 3500 srw won't have any more pulling performance. Just more payload capacity.
