^^^^^^^ This!
Look closely at the payload you will end up with on the new TV. I believe that a CC SB only has a max GVWR of 11,500#, with a loaded truck likely a payload less than 4,000# maybe less than 3,800#.
I am assuming that you are looking one ton to get within numbers, my personal experience is that with our 5er and a Ram 3500 SRW with a 4,200# payload I would be very close to max GVWR. This is why we went with a DRW.
You could go LB and get a GVWR of 12,400#, and payload of better than 4,000#, but I would do the math first.
