Based on the GM towing guide for a Regular cab, SRW, diesel, 4X4 I would loose 100 pounds towing capacity by going to a 3500 vs. a 2500. For the added cost it doesn't make sense to me IMHO.
Allen, will you be ordering the truck, or buying off the lot? I ask because there is a chance if you order it with exactly the options you want, the 3500HD may be cheaper!!!! We just stepped up to a 2500HD and if we had ordered it, the 3500HD was actually cheaper by about $400 or so if I remember right. Reason being- tow pkg and tow mirrors were standard on the 3500HD, optional on the 2500HD. May have been a couple other things as well, but can't remember.
