Much asked question/difference between 3/4 ton and 1 ton?

I searched the forum but found nothing. I may be asking the question the wrong way. Several people have told me "just install air bags OR an extra leaf". But I have seen this question here a few time...

My 2012 Ram 2500 is exactly the same as a 3500 except for the rear spring pack.
That all changed in 2013. Can't speak for Ford or GM.
I would have no problem towing what a 3500 does, since the running gear is identical. But the OR has a dry pin of 2850lbs and would likely be over 3000lbs loaded. IMO it's 1 ton territory.
