Assuming two vehicle with the same drive train....can anybody tell me what changes on the vehicle that determines the 3/4 ton vs. 1 ton.
A 2500 crew cab 6'4" box SRW, 6.7L with automatic 68RFE, GVWR 10,000 has a payload capability of 2,380 lbs.
A 3500 crew cab 6'4" box SRW, 6.7L with automatic 68RFE, GVWR 11,100 - 14,000 has a payload capability of 4,070 lbs.
It the difference the axle or the springs or a combination of both?
Is the axle different between the 2500 and 3500 SRW?
Add air bags to the 2500 and what? Firestone claims the airbags are good for 5,000 lbs.
I'm looking for info to make an educated decision about a fifth wheel RV selection.
