Now GM is doing the same game with their 3500 srw trucks with 18 different gvwrs. Some like a 11025....11050...11100....but starts at 10000 gvwr on up to 12450 gvwr.
RV website police will have fun with all the different payloads for the same exact 3500 srw truck.
I have no issues with some 3/4 tons trucks having more usable in the bed payloads than some/same spec'd one ton srw trucks.
Just more gvwr/gawr options we have to choose from as we all have different size truck needs.
DRW vs SRW .....sure need a dead horse picture clicky.
Or GM 2500HD with a 11,500 ish GVWR with the diesel, very close to the 3500HD SRW rating. They just moved the 2500HD up a class to get away from the somewhat arbitrary 10,000lb limt based on classification
