Age old 1500 vs 2500 debate

However, there are ZERO examples of 1500's vs 2500's that can say the same.
Aside from being visually similar to a degree, you can agree that the difference between a 1500 and 2500/3500 is more than just springs, right?
2500's really only exist for classification purposes. People that need more than a 1500, but don't want to pay for the full Class 3 license and insurance, which is significantly more than Class 2.
If you leave aside MDTs and HDTs, there are basically three classes of full size trucks that consumers purchase in the US from a capability standpoint:
- Half tons
- SRW HDs
- DRW HDs
Some get confused by labels but that's the gist of it.
