what is the difference between the hd 1500 and a 2500 or a 2500 hd?

 

I believe the frame is different from the 1500 LT (Light Truck) and 1500 HD (Heavy Duty), and if im not mistaken the 1500 HD and 2500HD have different frames??

 

Yes, the frames are stronger the higher you go up the line in series.
The suspensions have a higher load capacity as the series increases as well.

I believe that the 2500 has to 1 ton frame and the 1500 has the 1/2 ton frame ---- Other than that they are the same if Im not mistaken

 

also the current 1500HD is the same as the LD 2500 that was offered in 2000-01, I think

 

you r right

 

The 1500HD and 2500 light duty, which are the same trucks, have MUCH bigger frames that the light duty 1500s until you get to the rear axle, then they are the same. The 2500HD and 3500 have the big frame going all the way to the back. Go look if you don't believe.
