Many of us have done the test by pulling the same trailer with both 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton models. Check the results and you will discover the truth. You may not believe it, but you will discover it.
Interesting, I have done exactly that, going from a 2500HD diesel to an F150 Ecoboost. Of course, my 6k# trailer is far below the limits of the 2500.
That said, the difference hasn't been as great as I would have expected. Meaning, the 1/2 ton does the job just about as well as the 3/4 ton did. Does that mean I would hook 10k up to my 1/2 ton? No, not at all. But it is all about the right tool for the job. I'm w/in the ratings on my F150, and it tows my TT comfortably and smoothly. And I have a more efficient, nicer riding, more maneuverable vehicle for my daily driver as well (not that the 3/4 ton was unmanageable as a DD, but...). So I'm quite happy with the switch.
