I do not understand the "no point in a SRW 1 ton" comment...while I would not tow the OP's Road Warrior with any SRW truck, there are many fivers out there up to 16000# GVW that would be tow-able with a SRW 1 ton pickup while remaining within manufacturer's specifications...but not even close with 10000# GVW 3/4 ton trucks...I am not a weight police guy but for the small difference in price and the better towing specifications, I see no reason for the 3/4 ton trucks other than cheaper license plates...

After looking at the rig posted in your profile, the late model 1 ton SRW trucks will be plenty for your needs...as long as you load it properly...take it to the scales and you will see...

All 08 GM trucks I have looked at say the same thing... My only concern is the hitch weight, or payload of the trucks...
Here are the GAWR RR right off the stickers
2500- 6084lbs
3500SRW- 6500lbs
3500DRW- 8200lbs

I see no point in a 1 ton SRW

Now what are you talking about???? It's 9200 on a 3/4 and 9900 on a SRW 1 ton...
The GVW on my trailer is 13,000, well within the tow limits of a 3/4. It's going on a scale fully loaded next month and I will know exactly what I'm pulling cross country in the summer... My bet is it will be a 3/4 with a set of Firestone bags if I need'em
