The challenge with going with a 1 ton srw truck, if buying used, is the lack of availability compared to 3/4 tons.
The good news is (aside from 2014-up Ram 2500, don’t get one of them for a TC) 3/4 ton trucks are virtually identical in build and real world capacity as 1 ton srw trucks, save for greater rear spring capacity. And both generally require similar modifications to the suspension for most hard side TCs.
So if you’re in the used srw pickup market, you’ll have a much better selection of trucks including 3/4 tons. Like orders of magnitude better. And suspension upgrades are relatively cheap in the big picture and you’ll likely need them with either model.
I wish doing suspension upgrades was an easy legal way to increase your capacity but unfortunatly it isn't. only make it carry its capacity better....
