Some trucks may be different and some aren't. I think Ford got tired of making two trucks, so they finally decided to crank out the same truck and just rate them differently and put different badges on them. My research is with Fords. Other manufacturers might do the same, but I don't know.
A 10,000 GVWR has certain ramifications across registration, licensing, CDL, etc. For some it may not matter; to others it might. This is why they do it.
For personal RV use, I probably doesn't have any positives.

That comment has never made sense to me since a 3500 with GVW of 10,000 is a class 2 truck just like the 1/2 and 3/4 ton so what need for 3/4 ton trucks. A 3500 with over 10,000 is a class 3 truck.
