2017 2500HD versus 3500HD SRW
I'm getting ready to shop for a new tow vehicle, probably mid-2017. I'm planning to use the truck for almost daily driver duties as well as towing, and I'm definitely wanting a diesel but I don't want...

I don't understand why the 3/4 ton diesel market exists. I think the 1500 should be for people who want a nice riding truck to use for getting groceries, picking up a new fridge and light trailer pulling (10,000 lbs or less). The current 3/4 ton should be discontinued and the one ton SRW should be badged 2500. The step up to a 3500 should include duals. To me it makes no sense whatsoever to design a truck capable of pulling a house and then reducing its payload to that of a 1/2 ton by not putting any springs in the back.
2500 carry a max GVWR of 10K. IdaD thinks his rear coils are equal to 3500 leaf springs or the 3500 rear air.
More 2500s are sold as that is 80-90 percent of what the dealers stock on their lots for better or worst! Chris
