Believe they were in a class of their own...they had more GVWR than a "regular" 1500, but not as much as the same model year 2500'....so good example to give, but again, though tagged as a 1500HD, they could handle more weight than a 1500, but not as much as the 2500' (comparing same year to same year)...

Actually splittin' hairs here, but there were a couple of years I believe that the 2500 standard duty and the 1500HD had the same GVWR, just that the 1500HD was only available in a crew cab. I believe also the Mega Cab Dodge in 1500 config had the same running gear and GVWR as a 2500 reg cab in some years. FWIW, the Ram 3500 and F450 have the same 14000 GVWR, so ignoring the badge on the side they really are the same class of truck. There are so many examples of the truck badging being almost meaningless, you really have to look at the GVWR and payload to make an accurate comparison.
