3/4 ton diesel's and payload / GVWR issues
Looking at different 3/4 ton trucks and it seems like the 4x4 diesels payloads are going to range 2100 - 2400 ish. That's not much when it comes to covering myself for a possible 5th wheel upgrade do...

Let me ask this then. What are the downside of going with a 1 ton over the 3/4 ton? I’m sure that I am overlooking some.
1 tons are harder to find.
1 tons have a smaller resell market so potentially more difficult to sell.
1 tons are considered commercial vehicles in some states reducing the recreational market.
Their basically the same truck so they both ride the same if all the cab/bed/drive train selections are the same.
If your looking at a F250 and it has the camper package or heavy service package option it has the same front and rear suspension as the F350 srw.
You may already know this but being from Oklahoma myself we have no worries with commercial registration for these size trucks. We also have no weight for registering our non commercial trucks.
IMO we don't have any issues selling a one ton srw or a 3/4 ton truck.
I come from the commercial side of LTL trucking (3/4 and one ton trucks/trailers) where the trucks GVWR/GVWR based payload stickers aren't used to determine a over weight vehicle. We also don't face lawsuits or insurance issues like we read about on rv websites for exceeding the truck makers GVWR or its payload....just like a non commercial registered truck. Internet myth at play.
