To the op, yes your answer likely lies with the reduced payload "capability" of the 3/4 ton.
While there is very little difference between a 250/2500 and a 350/3500, if buying new spend the little more and get the SRW 350/3500. If and when LeO's decide to check GVWR when towing you will have about 1,400# of "Legal" payload.
The 250/2500 may have slightly softer springs and need bags, and maybe a slightly larger than stock tire. The only issue is exceeding the class 2 10,000# or slightly less GVWR.
