3/4t vs 1t differences
I realize there has been many questions asked about this and I have read quite a few but still doesn't really answer my curiosity completely, so here it goes... Say if I need to use the truck 60-70...

My Ram 2500 is identical to the 3500 SRW I'm every way except rear suspension. The Ram 3500 in my model year has a front GAWR of 6,000 lbs and a rear GAWR of 7,000 lbs. My 2500 has the exact same front GAWR of 6,000 lbs and a rear GAWR of 6,500 lbs. Hmmm, why is it that there is only a 500 lb difference in GAWR yet the same identical 3500 compared to mine has a GVWR and payload rating of almost 2,000 lbs more? .
What model year do you have? For MY15 the Max FGAWR for a 2500 is 5750 and max RGAWR is 6000. 1-ton SRW for MY15 is 6k front and 7k rear.
Seems the highest they've ever been are 5750 and 6500 respectively so your numbers may be off unless there was a year with a 6k FGAWR I'm missing.
3/4 ton is very similar to a 1-ton but legally it's still a 3/4ton despite the protestations. Rides nice though.
