The reference is made many times about the HD trucks. When looking at the 2500 or the F250, are those considered HD trucks or is there something else has to be ordered?
some people consider hd trucks anything other than 1/2 tons, and some don't call anything HD until you get into the 450/4500 series.
personally I don't care what you call them, you just need to pick the one that meets your needs for both towing and payload.
when you are talking about the Ford, the difference between the f250 and f350 is the rear springs, I'm told everything else is the same, my F250 has a payload of 2,850lbs compared to the 1389lbs on my Tundra by the door stickers.
I consider all of the 3/4 ton trucks HD, how much they can handle depends on how they are equipped. I believe if you get the "camper package" with the Ford F250 it is pretty much the same as the F350. The camper package adds the overload rear springs.
