Yes...going to components of the higher class TV does make a difference vs the lower TV class of half tons...but...the lions share of sales are to those who insist on only owning a half ton...
There are other attributes to the higher class TV's that goes along with truck tires (LT...light truck and does NOT have the ride quality that most want) vs passenger tires (P...passenger class tires that has to be de-rated a min of 9% when used on trucks)
Bigger brakes, bigger frame, bigger suspension, bigger in most everything underneath the body (which in most cases are the same as the half ton trucks)...etc
Am seeing the blend between the class ratings merge into a grey area like this thread is about

One of the issues with the F150 is very likely crappy P rated tires. I just had new LT tires installed on my 2012 F150 work truck and it feels like a completely different vehicle now.
