Good question. but aren't all the 25 and 3500's HDs. i notice on some 03s maybe 04s? that have HD in bigger crome letters. its smaller on my o5. i just wish it says DODGE on the tail gate somewhere, like the old ones.
i had a similar wonder about the 95-97 Fords. some say XLT under the F250 like dads, and some say 'heavey duty' never really figured out the difference. maybe just more leaf springs

From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
advertising, for the most part. They can get another $50.00 just for the emblems.
