They go by GVWR. So yes your analogy works providing the 1500 is a comparable GVWR as the 3500 dually.
To me, components like 12.25" Dana 110, 10 lug Alcoa 19.5s, 15"+ brake rotors, and 87 mph commercial tires, all scream Class 4 truck.
If Ford sand bags the GVW just to squeeze into the Class 3, well that's like athletes dehydrating just to squeeze into a weight class - it works, but you'll lose some people's respect.

Ford Most American Truck
In addition both Toyota and RAM are not an American Company. :R
Not the time nor the place to have this argument. If you would like to debate it, start a new thread.
Well, Fish is correct (did I just say that???).
I am a redneck, and buying American is very important to me. When Chrysler was bought by Daimler in 1997, I stop buying Chrysler products. I went to GM and Ford instead. Then, the bailouts soured me on Chrysler and GM. Then, I decided to get over it. GM, Ford, and Chrysler all have a lot of American operations, and I try to support them all.
Sorry, did not mean to hijack.
Great answer Fast Mopar... :C
My story is very similar. I was about to pull the trigger on a '98 Dodge RAM Green 360ci 4x4. The Daimler take over meant that Chrysler was no longer an American company so I backed away. I didn't want another Chevy truck like I currently had so I gave Ford a try.
I'm proud to say buying a truck or car from an American company is my top priority. :B
Nice "story"
What are you smoking?????????
1998 Chrysler owned Chrysler.
Both of my 98 RAM's are made in USA.

I purchased a TT this year and the catalog had a TT dry weight of 5400 lbs the actual dry weight on the yellow sticker was 6000 lbs. . I guess the tactic is everywhere.
On top of that in our competitive culture bragging rights are everything.
Anyone out there like sports.

By that line of reasoning, Ram can stick a "1500" on a 3500 Ram dually and claim the undisputed leader in payload & towing.
Poor arguments can be applied both ways.
Are you sure you got your logic correct? :S
Well, care to correct it?

No I would not do that for any reason and to me the customers won that battle because the trucks are very good. Almost as good as our 05. I really think the only place that even cares who wins the test are on this forum. It is just mentioned most places I read.
