      Also, for added clarity the 2500 and 3500 models are essentially identical size-wise. Just have more springs.

      I’d say they’re about 1-2 feet longer (not counting the 3 bed length options), and a fair amount wider than the 1500.

      The 1500 has a towing capacity of approximately 12k lbs. Goes up for each of the upper models.

      Yup, EU is the weight limit 3.5t for a B driving license (regular car) but a C1 (up to 7.5t) or C (semi truck) is possible to make. A coworker has a truck license. He bought an old fire truck and made a camper out of it for his 2 kids and his wife.

      But this is just comically large. I do understand it for the US in more rural areas but Europe? They don’t fit in parking spots and are just wasteful. 12.8L/100km?! And then they go shopping at Lidl. And people complain about SUVs but compared to US trucks, an SUV is a small car. I really hope that US trucks don’t get more common here.
