Is this a can of worms?
Okay, A friend with 3/4 ton Dodge noted my 1500 (half ton) has too little tow capacity. True, there is a difference, I don't argue that at all. But look at this... in 2000, I had a 2500HD Chevy wit...

I tow 10K with the 1500 in my signature, which is UNDER the rated limit, in the mountains of the west and am very happy with the performance and the stability. I do NOT have to tow with that truck, as we have ¾t and 1 ton diesels at the ranch to use, but I find the Silverado is just as capable and more comfortable than the larger trucks, at that weight.
If you decide to tow a 9,700 pound trailer with your 1500, you will be dangerous and disappointed.
I do agree that today's half tons are more capable than those of thirty years ago.
