Are 250/2500 trucks limited by their Class?
Hello all, first time poster here. Sorry in advance for the long post, but I would like to get your guys input on what you think about this because it is something I have been wondering for a while. ...

I think the problem is you are looking at the wrong weights. If you take the 10,000 lb gross weight minus the base weight you get the payload. The base weight of the 2500 gas vs diesel is about 1000 lbs.
Yes, but the GVWR and whether it is applied due to the 250/2500 Class 2b 10,000 max GVWR limit or due to its actual load handling limit is what is in question. Based on it's numbers, the 2500 CTD is an 11,000 GVWR truck at the very least. It seems Ram (and other manufacturers) give the 250/2500 trucks a max 10,000 GVWR just to keep it in Class 2b which also have less expensive registration costs.
Winner winner chicken dinner.
