I think the manufacturers tow ratings make better sense now than they ever did. The thing people need to be aware of is that HD3/4 tons are identical to 1 tons other than they have less leafs in the rear springs which prevent them from being able to carry much of a trailer. Once the manufactures stop producing these useless 3/4 tons and put the 3/4 ton badging on the 1 ton SRW everything will make sense..... it will be if a half ton won't do it you gets a 3/4 (which will be sprung like a present day 1ton SRW) if the 3/4 ton doesn't cut it you get a 1 ton which means you get duals
You have it all backwards!!! My 2001.5 RAM 2500 with camper option was really a SRW 3500 in a year that RAM did not offer one.
Now GM has just blurred the line with a 2500HD with a GVWR beyond 10K class 2 segment.
It is the 250/2500 that should go away!!! The can I tow this threads would go way down.
In the mean time I will keep my 2015 RAM 3500 SRW with room for 3500+ on the rear axle. Here is 3000+ between the rear axle and tailgate. Try that in your Ford 350 SRW without air bags.
