You better read the sales brochure about the differences between the 3/4 
and 1 ton. The salesman is blowing smoke. He must have to many 1 ton's 
on the lot. Rear axles are different, wheels are different not all the same.
The 1 ton is sprung much harder than the 3/4 ton. Because of this a 
weight distributing hitch will not work as well with the end result 
being more road shock is transferred to the trailer frame. We have seen 
trailers towed by 1 ton truck with frame and skin damage. One of our 
club members purchased a 34' from a fella that used a 1 ton. When a 
factory service tech saw it he knew right away what was the cause.
You can overdue it.
A short bed crew cab will give you a good ride and be easier to manuver.
