Just curious, always have to be...
What are the differences between the 2500 and 3500 trucks of 2003-2004 range? I know that the 3500 can be had in dual rear wheels, with cab lights, and some other "cosmetic" differences. But is there a difference in the frames? Are theaxles the same (with adaptations for dual wheels in rear)? I am just curious, where are the major differences between the two trucks?
Thanxs!

The only difference is the rear leaf springs.

Yeah, the 3500 have a overload leaf spring. It is just one extra one. And the sticker on the door that says you can tow more.

and a bigger rear axle

The axle size is only different if the 2500 isn't a HD. The non HD has a 10.5 rear axle and the HD has a 11.5

they both have the same towing capacity. It's the dually that has a 1000lbs more towing capacity over the SRW 3500

Both 3500's have the same towing capacity.

I thought the dually hauled less weight because of the extra weight if the tires

CowboyBob · #9 08-13-2007, 09:59 AM

The 3500 is 1000 more.
