Regarding 2500 vs 3500, I have ridden in a variety of both and only feel the difference between a gas truck versus diesel. Maybe if I drove one more frequently I would feel a difference, but take the Ram 2500 as an example: for a crew cab 4x4 short box the payload with the 6.4 gas engine is 3200#, but with the diesel it drops to 2200#. For the 3500s, the payload is about 4000# regardless of engine choice.
Since you have a GM 2500 with a gas engine, your payload is plenty good, but don't most HD truck buyers seem to buy diesels? If so their payload would be around 500# less than yours, which is not so good.

Motorbreath I totally agree with part of what your saying, if you don't need a 2500/3500 don't get one but in my opinion if you are close to weights and stress about it then by all means it's a huge improvement. I drive big trucks for a living so as a daily driver I love it, I'm more comfortable in a big vehicle but parking can be a little tricky at times. We take my wife's car to a lot of our kids events and such. Not sure why you're against the 2500 tho. With 2700# payload I sure don't see an reason to increase.
