I am aware the GVWR's are different. The reason being a 2500/F250 vs a 3500/F350 .But structurally what is the difference? I really can't believe it is just the "springs/extra leaf". But also, my knowledge of the structure of the truck is LIMITED!
So then my truck MAY be able to carry the 5th wheel I noted.....2840# hitch and 12410 "dry weight". And a dually will give WAY more stability. My Grandson's friends are the ones that really brought up the question. They have a Dodge 2500 (2010) and they pull a 36' Montana. All they did was change the leafs and install air bags.....AND chipped the truck. oh boy!!!
So the frames may be more sturdy as well as the brakes, ETC.
