I had a very nice Chevolet 2500 SWB Crew Cab, that when I added the published weight from the manufacturer’s sticker we were under gross weight. The truck seemed to handle the weight “OK” with a Big Wig sway bar and air bags. We were over gw, under axle and tire gw as per the local CAT scale. We upgraded to a new Chevolet 3500 LWB dually and the difference in driving is astounding! The long bed dually is not as bad to drive as I thought it would be, it is longer and wider.
Anyway, my point is the dually long box is way better driving truck than my 2500 SWB with my 3,400 wet weight camper. Expensive lesson learned!
I went the same route with a 2500 RAM to a 3500 DRW, IMHO 3/4 ton trucks are a waste of money, just get a 3500 SRW or DRW.
