The frame is heavier than the smaller trucks, but the total empty weight is not that much more than the late 70's Camaros.
The key issue in my mind is the brakes. The Camaro overloaded with everything you could stuff in it would never gross near the 8800 the 1-ton is rated to carry. If you were ever to load the Camaro suspended truck like a 1-ton truck you would not have the brakes you would really want for stopping it.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
