As I stated in a previous post -- the issue which led to this line of discussion was -- for a given TV with a given GVW, does a greater amount of unused payload capacity give shorter stopping distance.

This has gone on so long, you forgot where it started.
The OP stated. "There are a ton of threads here regarding the proper matching of TV and TT. Based on what I learned here, I made a very expensive decision to upgrade my brand new 1/2 ton to a 1 ton TV so that I would be within the specs for my truck. I am not sorry I did that, but it did cost a lot."
The OP and I both referenced the capabilities of the different models ranging from a 1/2 to a 1 ton. I keep saying that the 1 ton would have more braking capacity than his previous 1/2 ton. I still think I (and the OP) are correct in saying it would.
