Grit Dog, don't know where you have been since 2013, but Ram made the jump to big SRW GVWR back then.
2013 Ram 3500 SRW LB GVWR 12,300#
2013 Ram 3500 SRW SB GVWR 11,700#
Ford and GM were still topped out at 11,500# until 2020.
Sorry, I meant 3/4 ton trucks. Last I checked, but icbw, Ram 2500s are still at the 10k limit whereas the other 2 now have supersized 3/4 ton GVW offerings. Albeit, defeating the actual reason for 3/4 tons having a 10k gvw limit for commercial use.
Well the GM and Ford 250/2500 over 10,000# are now class 3 trucks. Most states that have higher/commercial registration for 350/3500 go by GVWR not the badge on the door or hood.
As stated before, why not just get rid of the class 2 diesel trucks.
You still don’t understand. 10k gvw is necessary to circumvent DOT issues for commercially operated trucks. 10k gvw allows the capability of a big boy pickup while circumventing the DOT drivers file and DOT numbers requirements for ALOT of drivers.
Although many companies don’t follow the drivers file requirements, it does cause issues fairly frequently with employees driving >10k gvw trucks. Especially with trailers.
