Whats the difference?

[Yohinan]

I cant figure it out for the life of me.

Between the exact same year truck with the same options and RPO codes what is the difference between these two?

Chevy 2500HD Diesel/Allison Combo

Chevy 3500SRW Diesel/Allison Combo

TIA

Probably nothing more than

1. How much you can legally tow
2. How much it will cost at the DMV to register

one has a 3500 badge...the other has a 2500hd badge...lol

What's the GVWR on the HD3/4 tons vs. the 1 tons?

An extra leaf in the rear pack, thats about it.

 

[Avery4jc]

So you are allowed an extra 1500lbs.....that's it?

[84zz4ss]

When you consider the extra weight involved in a DRW truck. It's probably more like 750lbs.

I think we were all talking about a 2500HD and a SRW3500...

Well I missed that part.

05 CC Dmax/Ally 3500 srw GCWR 22,000
The dually alows 1500 more but the vehicle is also heavier.

Sorry I messed up.
