Well, I don't know about trucks now-a-days, but my F250 is identical in every single way to an F350 same model year except for the wheels/tires and the payload sticker on the door. But that's only because it came with the Camper Package which upgraded the blocks/rear suspension to match the F350.

Yep, and there are some instances where a 3/4 ton will actually have a higher payload than its 1-ton counterpart, due to both having the same GVWR, and the 3/4 ton sporting a lower curb weight.
That said, the answers are all in the post I made from the very first page of this thread.
Thats assuming anyone bothered to actually look at specs

A 3000lb camper is easily doable with todays 1-tons.
Even some of the 3/4 tons will do it, while remaining under max GVWR.
FYI, here are the 2015 big 3 spec sheets for slide in campers...
But as always, payload ratings are ESTIMATED.
GVWR is stated, but to determine payload you need ACTUAL curb weight, truck to truck.
