    Like If i was to get the 6.6l diesel in the 2500, whats the difference vs getting it in the 3500? I know 3/4 vs 1 ton, but how come the 2500 isn't a 1 ton? They both have the same motor and trans, what about the axles, and frames? Is it just tow ratings, and different leaf packs? Whats the physical difference in the truck?

    I realize all the stuff your saying about the towing and stuff. BUT what are the ACTUAL PHYSICAL differences on the truck? What PHYSICALLY makes a 2500 different from a 3500? Just badges and a couple of stickers?

    I might be wrong but i think its the suspension, and thats it. Motor and trans are the same, but suspension can hold more weight. also could be differential gears.
    3500 is heavier than 2500 too

    yeah, so if your not hauling then dont get a 3500, unless you just like the number 3 and moore weight. A duramax is a duramax they just make the springs stronger to hold more weight in the bed. and tow.
