That's because the salesman was actually right. Any new 3/4ton diesel off the lot today is more than capable of pulling what you posted.
Theres no point in going through the details because there will be a bunch of folks along to tell you how a HD payload half ton is as capable as a loaded 3/4 ton diesel because they have similar paper payload numbers and because of that a magical "1ton" is needed because it's paper payload is higher.
There are reasons I'd prefer a new 1 ton over a 3/4 unilaterally, especially talking Rams, but payload and towing capacity aren't the reasons.
