I've responded to posts about 3/4-ton vs. 1-ton trucks before. Every one of these threads always contain the thoughts by most of us that we are happy with what we have, regardless of what the "weight police" have to say.
That being said, I would feel much safer with a bigger truck than the 3/4-ton I have. Most of the bigger trucks have bigger brakes and although I can safely stop my rig (given sufficient open space), it would be much easier and safer with a bigger truck.
A lot of us are doing with the vehicle we have because we can't afford to buy a different one. We keep repairing ours and usually say, "We're getting a new truck, one piece at a time."
