Dean, you have hit it exactly on point, my 3/4 (the year I bought it) had a factory spec of 1200 lbs more payload than the 1 ton. Why I don't know. The 1 ton springs are on my unit as a factory upgrade, the brakes, axles, etc., are the same part number. The only difference was the rims with an offset for duals. The GCVWR is the same. I guess that all Montana owners should be driving a 4500 or 5500 to keep everything within spec. Each person should do their own research and buy accordingly. I for one would never accept the comments on an internet forum as the final word, there are to many personalities involved.

You must drive one old truck. Today, at least for GM, the only way a 3/4 could possibly have more payload capacity is if the 3/4 ton is a gasser the one ton is a diesel srw. GCWR (there is no such abreviation as GCVWR) is the same only on 3/4 ton and one ton srw diesels...much higher with the dually.
