What changed on these trucks in one year to make them 1000 lbs. lighter?

RGAWR is still 7K. That is the issue with a 5th wheel, not the payload rating. 99% of pin weight of a 5th wheel goes on the rear axle including the hitch. So one has around 3200-3900 pounds left over from the 7K rear axle for hitch, pin weight and other stuff in truck bed.
Here our the chart number for my 2015 SB 4X4 CC Aisin:
Total 7,775 Front Axle 4,810 Rear Axle 2,965
New 2019 LB 4x4 CC
Total 7877.5 Front Axle 4872.45 Rear Axle 3005.05
Here are my ready to tow weights loaded for full timing for a year and a half.
Total 8900, Front Axle 5140, Rear Axle 3760
(Because mine is a Laramie and has side steps it most likely weighs in at a couple hundred pounds more)
2015 SRW is rated for max of 25150.0 trailer weight. Must be for a 4 wheel cart type trailer or really light pin weight gooseneck trailer.
