These are based on diesel powered trucks.

2500 SLE comes standard with 17" wheels. SLT will come with 18" wheels and 20's are optional. TPMS, Tow mirrors are an option on 2500's

GVWR-10000 lbs
GCWR-24500 lbs
Max conventional trailering-13000 lbs
Max fifth wheel trailering-17100 lbs
Max payload-2800 lbs(This is subjective to how much the vehicle weighs) This was based on a CC 4x4 standard bed 6.5' with diesel engine.

3500's come only with 18" wheels. Tow mirrors are standard. Only real difference in the suspension of the 3500 is the addition of overload springs to account for the extra payload. No TPMS on 3500's with 11500 gvwr.

GVWR- 11500 lbs
GCWR- 24500 lbs
Max conventional trailering-13000 lbs
Max fifth wheel trailering-17100 lbs
Max payload-4300 lbs(This is subjective to how much the vehicle weighs) This was based on a CC 4x4 standard bed 6.5' with diesel engine.

Not sure if you are looking for diesel or gas? If you go with a gas 2500 the GVWR is 9500 lbs, 3500 the GVWR is 10800 lbs.

As for the price, I suggest you go to their web site and build two trucks, one 2500 and a 3500. I think you'll find that the 3500 may be cheaper or only a few hundred more... depending on the options you pick.
