I have felt safe every trip but wish I had a 1 ton. In heavy side wind, it's not the most stable. I'm a person that likes extra capacity so I don't have to worry about it, but I have none now and it's noticeable.
There is very little weight difference between identical 3/4 and 1 ton SRW trucks. Extra leaf spring, diff tires and wheels. and sometimes they can be options on the 3/4 ton (meaning no weight diff). DRW would be needed to get a more stable setup, just going to a 1 ton is no guarantee for a more stable setup.
An extra leaf spring would be better than my fix of air bags. In addition, I have an 08 and I'd be getting an 18. So part of the stability is 10 years of advancement in vehicles. My buddy has a 13 F350 and has a 14k dry toy hauler and it's night and day difference from mine. But yes, if I had an 08 1 ton, there wouldn't be a huge difference.
