i dont know why hammer. relax haha thats just what truck trend says that doesnt always mean something. just came across it. but it probably has to do with that fact its a 3/4 ton 2500 and a 1/2ton 1500.

 

The towing capacity on an '07 mega cab with the 4.10 rear is actually 8510lbs. I tow a ~7,000 lb camper with mine on 4 and 5 hour trips with no problem.

One time I looked at my 1500 next to a 2500 mega cab the dealer had. The 2500 had one extra leaf in the rear, which would add to the tow capacity...other than that from what i could see they were the same truck. I bought the 1500 because they had the options I wanted/needed (Laramie package, etc.) and got the better deal on it.

 

The wheels are the same... 8 lug, which would lead me to believe the rotors behind the would be the same, so the brakes are the same. And if it has HD wheels and brakes why would dodge spend more money bolting them to the 9.25" rear end?

 

The absolute only difference between the 1500 mega and the 2500 mega is the 2500 has an overload spring and the 1500 doesnt. That is the only difference, period.

 

NOOOO!!! Hello people your missing the biggest difference! You can tow more with the 2500 because it has the 2500 badges! geeze...

 

now this a real megacab 2500

i think the biggest difference is the CTD option

 

Because the number is higher.. duh.

 

Speaking of mega cabs here's my cousins.

 

Looks like a megacab longbed conversion


Lots of time and $ spent on that!

 

It might just be the extra leaf spring or overload spring. If the price is the same, get the 2500. If the 1500s cheaper then it depends on how much you tow.
