yea - tow capacity certainly has improved due to advances in engine technology, but payload is more important. And that has not changed - unless somehow the forces of gravity have diminished over the years as well....
What rock have you been living under? Half ton payloads have increased over the past decades as well. The common crew cab F150 3.5L Ecoboost is rated at around 1,500 lbs (3/4 of a ton) give or a take a few depending on trim level, the tow package which beefs up the springs is around 2,000 (1 ton), and the HD paylaod package which beefs up springs and axle is around 2,500 (1 1/4 ton).
