The actual real-world capacity difference between 3/4 tons and one tons is imaginary.
They’re literally the same vehicle.
If you believe a 3/4 ton diesel really has the same or similar capability as a gas half ton because of the rating sticker, put an 11.5 foot camper on each and go for a drive.
The 3/4 ton - or one ton - will do a LOT more than the sticker says, safely and easily.
I agree about one thing... no one but RV forum guys worry about “staying within the numbers”.
The rest of the world uses their trucks for what they can really do.
