Yea, With the Ram sliding chart I saw that even the 4500 wasn't exactly over kill. LOL
My understanding of California law is that I need the GVWR to be under 26000 lbs to stay away from a Commercial license. I've had the Class b before. It's not difficult to get. But it is a hassle that I would like to avoid.
So if that's true About the Class b and 26000 lbs. The 4500 and 5500 would be rated as the same as the 3500 for me. But, they are not anywhere near the same truck
DMV speaks of trucks rating. Not what you have loaded on it.
