The only real SRW “One Ton” that isn’t really a 3/4 ton

I wish they would go back to the spare tire embedded into the side of the bed like that instead of underneath.

I like that feature, but most would not like the rear axle set back far enough to do it.
Most pickups, the bed is pretty much centered over the rear axle. This 1, with more of the bed ahead of axle, a load centered in the bed will put more of the load on front axle. That will let you have a higher GVW without exceeding limit on rear.
