Old Gator makes a very important point!!!
A 1 ton SRW truck, compared to its' ? ton cousin is essentially identical size with essentially identical option lists and option costs. For a new F350, the cost is only about $1200 more. You get an extra 1200# Payload, comparing identically equipped units. When towing a FW, this is a CRITICAL difference.
For a 15,000# GVWR FW, you have about 3000# pin wt, plus the weight of passengers and a hitch and cargo. A typical ? ton truck, nicely equipped will have a payload around 2300#. The identical 1 ton SRW truck will have a 3500# payload. The ? ton is grossly overloaded. The 1 ton is okay if you watch your weights carefully.
By comparison a 13,000 TT (a BIG TT), the hitch wt is only 1600#, and the ? ton truck is big enough.
Remember, the ? ton and 1 ton SRW are the same size with the same engine, transmission and rear end options. As far as a daily driver, there is no difference.
