The switch to aluminum probably did save them close to 700lbs but they probably put 200 to 300 of that back into the truck in other areas.
Did sunroofs become standard option on new trucks?
That adds few lb, just like inverters, power rear windows, cameras and radars.
Good news is that when aluminium saved lot of weight in the rear, new gadgets put load up front.
My TC has COG behind the axle and even with scaled 6500 lb load, I am still way below my rear axle rating.
In the past buyers had to go to 450/4500 or even heavier trucks to have that kind of capacity - now 350 is all you need.
