I've been out of the game so long, I haven't even seen inside of one of the newer ones.
The G-80 name is just an option code during manufacturing. It means different things for different years.
The entire rear axle under my 2016 looks massive! I have more truck than I really need right now but I plan to keep it a long time and I know it can do just about anything I ever want it to do.

There is also the probability that folks who bought a 2500/3500 HD got them for work and didn't hot rod them like the half tons.
