The main difference, though there are many more, USED to be the RGAWR between
the fake half ton vs the regular half tons
4,xxx lb RGARW is the regular half ton rating and is about the same across the
board for all OEMs I've checked
5,xxx up to 6,xxx lb RGARW USED to be the fake half ton rating and is also in
the same ball park as 3/4 ton and lower end of some 1 ton ratings
Notice that it is +1K to +2K more rating than the regular half ton RGAWR
That is why some are asking what the OP's rear GAWR is...
Another easy one is 'P' (passenger class tire) vs 'LT' on the
fake half ton (light truck tire)
Note that 'P' class tires used on trucks are required to be de-rated
a min of 9% of their sidewall max rating...
All part of the ability to 'manhandle' the trailer well...vs just good enough...
