Yep I understand tow ratings just fine thank you, its just an observation point that I am making. The normal everyday common joe does not understand payload, GVWR, ect.. The only thing that I can possibly think of concerning this new confirguration is that it will be the new version of the old 1500HD. Very simular to the truck that I just sold a month ago. I can see it with the 8600GVWR package, semi floater, 14 bolt rear. However the 1500HD is a 3/4 ton just like the standard 2500 non HD. I really liked that truck, so maybe this newer truck will be badged same/ differently? If not and its a regular classified 1/2 ton then I am interested in seeing specific configurations payload, GVWR ect...
