The weight distribution on the truck's suspension is different, therefore the allowable total trailer weight is different.

P.S. Believe the manufacturer's Mechanical Engineering Team. They know what they are talking about concerning a truck that they designed even though some on the forum seem to think they are smarter than the builders/designers.
Not always an engineering issue! Some states have extra fees for above 10.000 LBS! ยพ ton trucks come in just under the 10,000 lbs. mark. Done to prevent those extra charges to kick in. For the most part, drive trains identical to the 1 ton versions. Only real difference is the extra feeโs! Be aware and educate yourself, to what is available and what you can safely haul.

Yup, I do have the trailer already. Been on the net looking at tow ratings that seem to be conflicting and all over the chart. So back to the drawing board. Not looking to buy new so that makes it a little more difficult.
