Know your GAWR and tire ratings because it’s obvious that the payload numbers are not very reliable. I’m not buying a 1 Ton truck to tow a 9,000lb 5th wheel when my 3/4 Ton does the job perfectly despite being over payload but WELL under axle ratings and combined trailer rating. But to each their own

I understand what you are saying and don't really KNOW what the difference between the 2 weight ratings is as is the case with most everyone on this forum. We can speculate, but that isn't KNOWING. As far as the 5.7 and 6.4 trucks being identical I can say without a doubt, having owned both, that the 5.7 and 6.4 engines are not identical by any stretch. I doubt that is what you are saying but just wanted to clarify
