I understand that a Chevy 1500HD is a 2500...

And that a 2500HD would be a 3500...

But what about a 3500HD? What would that be?

Does anyone know the tow rating for a mid 1990's to late 1990's Chevy 3500HD? Diesel (with and without the turbo)?

Right now, I am debating between an F350 or Chevy 3500.

Also, I am looking for a regular cab dually diesel 1 ton...does anyone have any statistics/specs on these or where I could find them?Mainly wanting tow ratings, weight limits, etc.?

Does anyone know of any pro's and/or con's to a 1 ton regular cab diesel dually when pulling or anything else?

Thanks

Mid 90's through 2000 3500HD was pretty much a 4500... It was a ton and a half truck rather than a 1 ton.... Different frame, raised cab, 19.5 wheels.. Etc.

To learn more about the 1990's through the year 2000 3500HD, go search this site....  http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/index.php

Location: Texas		Just to clarify, in the 1990s, there was no 1500HD. Also, the 2500HD had a lighter rear axle than the 3500.
