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...

Thanks for the info on your truck. Ratings for the 2500s went down in 2015, I'm assuming due to SAE J2807
2015 2500 SAE J2807
The J2807 is for towing only. It has nothing to do with GVWR or GAWR ratings. As said above, the 2015 Mega Cabs are 6000 FGAWR and 6,500 RGAWR yet they have the exact same front axle and rear axle parts as the crew cabs going by Mopar online parts lookup. Same parts, but different ratings on a lighter truck? Seems a bit odd to me. I know for a fact that the Power Wagon rear springs are softer linear rate springs and not the stiffer progressive rate springs like the other models yet the Power Wagon seems to have a 6,200 RGAWR. Again, seems a bit odd.
