After carrying a TC in a 3/4T I would say both of those are too light. It may have the capacity to carry it but it's not comfortable or safe feeling.
A 1T truck doesn't cost or ride that much different and gives you a huge choice of campers and much better driving manners when loaded.
You have not kept up to date. 2011 and later GM/Chevy trucks whether 3/4 or 1-ton have the same suspension, drivetrain, and frames, only the leaf packs are different and the 1-tons have the option of DRW. Same is true with the 2013 and later Ram trucks. Only with the Ford trucks is there much variation between the F-250 and the F-350/450 trucks at this time - things change though.
My 2011 GM 2500HD pickup came with a 700 lb. higher rear axle rating than the standard DRW 3500HD trucks. I chose the 2500HD to be able to get the extended/double cab along with the standard length box which is a combination not available with the GM/Chevy 3500 trucks.
