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
In stock form Ram rates the coils for 500 fewer pounds. I'll take that rating over random internet guy who's shown little ability to grasp some pretty simple concepts.
