I dont know about Chevy, but on the Fords, the difference is mostly how much you pay in taxes. Many states base part of the taxes on the load carrying capacity. The differences between an F250 and F350 SRW are the badge on the body, the sticker on the door, and maybe the tires, *maybe*. The drivetrain, axles, frame, everything is the same. Add the camper package to an F250, and you have the equivalent of an F350+.
The big payload difference comes on the DRW package.
I got all freaked out about the low payload on my F250. Then reading comments here and around the net, realized the GVWR and payload are mostly limited by tires. The important thing to check is the front and rear axle weight limits. Tires are usually the limiting factor.
