While those numbers do have they’re relevance and I stay within them, they in no way assure stability, confidence and a margin of safety while towing. Physics says 7200lbs will be better than 5300lbs so those are the numbers that matter to me.
So what you are saying is RAWR and Payload numbers aren't all that great for a HD Half or near-3/4 ton rig, which is how Nissa advertised these. Other than that it was blah safety blah stability blah confidence blah no real numbers or ratings blah. All subjective and highly variable depending on load and conditions.
I think he is saying a heavier built truck will just naturally handle a load better. The Nissan Titan XD Diesel and the Ford F150 are rated nearly the same. Having said that, The Nissan Titan XD is built with heavier axle, heavier frame, etc. Both are rated near the same, but one will do it better. It seems pretty clear cut to me. Maybe he will post again an re-explain it again.
