The 3500 SRW and 2500 are very similar trucks. The payload rating is limited on account of the 6000 lb rear axle rating that the 2500 gets vs the 7000 lb rating of the 3500. The axle rating is reduced on account of the spring rating. Put a set of air bags on your 2500 and it will handle your Grand Design better than the 3500 SRW with higher payload numbers.
Is this true with the 2016 Dodge? I know a lot of older trucks from all the brands, the only difference between 3/4 ton and 1 ton (single rear wheel version) is the spring pack, so upgrading the spring or providing some sort of help like airbags or jounce springs would effectively make it the same as a 1 ton.
But I thought the newer Dodge 3/4 ton switched to coil spring while the 1 ton still uses leaf springs...which makes me wonder what else they may have different.
