Resale! Used 250/2500's are more popular and sell quicker and at a better price, 350/3500 are assumed to be work trucks (abused) and resale is less. Many of us know this not to always be true, but it is assumed by many buyers.
Yup, and marketing by the dealers and mfgs. Go to most any new car lot and most of the HD pickups are 2500s and maybe a couple srw 3500s if you're lucky.
I'd rather have a 3500srw but a 2500 is what presented itself when I bought a new truck. Used to be just springs. Still is for the most part but I would shy away from a new 2500 now for 2 reasons. Primary reason being tpms monitoring and in the case of Ram I'd rather have leafs so I could overload the snot out of it, like my current truck! Lol
