350. Period.
12 years ago we bought our first diesel. It was a 2500.
All was well until we ran out of payload. Too close to limits for comfort.
I wished I'd bought the 3500 the first time around.
Of course, if I had, we wouldn't have a new 3500 in the driveway right now.
All of the 2004 Ram 3500 SRW had a GVWR of 9,900 lbs which not only is less than the Ram 2500 of today, but it also puts the old SRW 3500 in the same class 2b that the 2500s of today are in. The 2004 3500 SRW also had a front GAWR of 5,200 and a rear GAWR of 6,150 while a 2500 like my 2014 CTD has a front GAWR of 6,000 and a rear GAWR of 6,500. So if a 3500 would have worked for you back then, a 2500 would work for you now going by what it can actually handle and not by the max class GVWR.
