The difference for me, as an educated outsider is in the GVWR, F/R GAWR and GCWR
The problem with that Ben, is that the GVWR and GAWR in some cases are completely fabricated for marketing purposes. The 250 uses identical axles but they are rated at 6100 vs. 7k for the SRW 350. Same with GVWR. 10k vs. 11.5k on an identical truck.
Well, you forget that GAWRs are a result of the weakest part, IE tires. Since generally speaking 2500 and 3500 series trucks have different tires and wheels the lower rating is a resultmof lower tire ratings.
Actually the Ford F250 and SRW F350 use identical tires and wheels so no, I didn't forget anything.
