3/4 Ton vs 1 Ton

It would make sense to have 2500 and 3500 series trucks but the 3500 should have duals and the 2500 should be SRW.

It's this idea of thinking it is reasonable to build a HD diesel SRW truck designed for towing 18000 lbs and then remove some of its leaf springs to reduce its payload to less than that of a 1/2 ton to satisfy a particular segment of buyers that haven't a clue.

That is what Dodge/Ram did from 1994 to 2002 there wasn’t a SRW 3500, only DRW 3500’s.
You could get a 2500 with camper package, and you got 3500 springs, add optional 265/75-16 E tires and you could easily carry 11,000#.
