2011 Duramax vs 2016 Cummins
I currently have a 2011 GMC 2500HD 4x4, Crew cab with the Duramax Diesel engine and Allison transmission. The truck has 155k miles on it and I am looking at the 2016 Ram 2500's with the Cummins diesel...

Turtles, I've been saying the same thing around here for years, most just don't get it. There's no difference in trucks now a days between a 250/2500 and a350/3500 srw. A lot of f250s come with overload springs. With the same rear axle, front axle, motor, trans, and springs, that leaves a lift block being the difference and a sticker on the side.
The question that was asked of why anyone would buy a 2500 for a 5th wheel is inaccurate. It should be why would anyone buy a srw 3500 over a 2500. If you need more truck than a 2500 you need a dually.
It is truly amazing how confused some get over this subject. Irritating too. Your post is spot on.
I don't agree. I think it is insane that 2500 trucks are manufactured. The 2500's should have heavy enough rear springs to be able to handle the weight carry capacity of the SRW truck. The 2500 should replace the 3500 SRW. A 3500 should automatically get duals.
