100%. Most 3/4 tons you see towing 5ers are over their GVWR, not so with the SRW and DRW 1-tons.
Yes, but since the 250's gvwr if a fabricated marketing number and has nothing to do with real specs, it really doesn't matter. A 250 is physically identical to a srw 350 and since private rigs don't get checked for weight, who cares what a sticker says?
I largely agree with you although if I was planning to regularly be over GVWR in my truck I would have gone 3500. But down the road I'm not really too worried about payload limitations as long as I stick within axle and tire ratings. The diesel 3/4 payloads ratings really are meaningless.
