Screw all that legal mumbo gumbo internet myth malarkey about being over weight. Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense can figure out that the only difference between a 3/4 ton and 1 ton is rear spring packs. 2013 and up Rams are the exception to the rule. A 3/4 ton with the proper rear suspension up grade and a good set of 18" wheels and tires will tow every bit as well as a stock 1 ton. In fact IMO an upgraded 3/4 ton is probably better than a stock 1 ton. Just looking at the payload numbers for my 12 Ram 2500 (2176lbs) and comparing them to a 3500 (2700) you only gain 430lbs of payload. I can get more of an increase with bags, springs or Timbrens.
Everyone has to determine their own risk factors. Is it a risk worth taking? For me it's not a risk. It's common sense.
