Ram 2500?

Listen carefully for rear differential noise, SIL had serious issues.

So a sample size of one.

I have nothing to add other than to say how moronic the 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and one ton terms are. They are antiquated and need to be dropped or updated. My '24 F-450 is rated for a maximum payload of 5,320 lb since it's a CC, 4x4 8ft bed model, so what the heck has that got to do with one ton?

Buy an F-350 6.8L DRW 4x2 and it's rated payload is a whopping 8,000 lb or 4 tons!!

Exactly. The payload sticker on the F150 I had was 1937 lb, so essentially one ton.

Most people know that 1/2 ton = 150 (1500) series, 3/4 ton =2500 (250) series, and 3500 (350) series =1 ton. Regardless of the annual changes in weight ratings (with fine print) games that manufacturers play. I doubt that the vernacular is going to change until the senior generation passes on and you young guys become seniors.

No games, just numbers, and they're in the literature for those who care enough to look. Nomenclature is important, and it just seems dumb to be tied to a naming system that tells the owner nothing about what the truck is capable of carrying. I never refer to a truck as 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton or 1 ton. I simply refer to the badging on the fenders.

HDRams.com is a good forum for the newer generation trucks.

To be more complicated, there are both SRW and DRW F350s, and SRW and DRW 3500s in Ram and GM.

Then, there's those of us who have F450s and F550s and the equivalent for GM and Ram.
