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...

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.
You have it backwards. A class 2 truck has a 10,000 limit. To tow the max a SRW truck can handle they need to label it as a class 3 truck (350/3500). It is the 250/2500 that are not needed.
However go to a dealers lot and you will find a hand full of 350/3500 SRW and a zillion 250/2500's. It all goes to the salesman saying you can tow anything with this here 250/2500! For years there was little difference between the class 2 and SRW class 3 trucks. RAM changed that for their trucks in 2014.
It might be that special ordered 350/3500 SRW out number 250/2500 special ordered trucks.
