That is a very good question.

Clearly you have seen the movie
3/4
Your killing me.
I need TWO cars.
One just for weekends towing the sleds in the mountains
One for all the rest of the week.
What's the difference between the one TON and the 3/4? A set of overload springs and emblems?
I think that's about it now. Driving empty they drive pretty much identical (assuming the 1 ton is the SRW model of course).
Dear Lord I hope my sled trailer NEVER weighs that much!!!!!!!!!
So far as I know the 250 and 350 are basically IDENTICAL otherwise.
I can't speak for the Ford but with GM the differences between a 3/4 ton and 1 ton (SRW):
- 1 ton has a set of overload springs
-Badges
-Very very very slightly different valved shocks, you'll never notice
-1 ton loses Tire pressure monitors (actually could be a good thing, for it costs less to do tires, you don't have to be annoyed by the thing going off whenever you adjust for being loaded or unloaded, and if you're towing you better be checking tire pressures often enough that you know if you are low)
-I can actually sell you a 1 ton cheaper than a 3/4 because I don't pay advertising on a 1 ton. Advertising only applies to "light duty" (3/4 ton and lower) vehicles.
By going to a 1 ton, the following should be considered: If you are towing and have a higher weight rating, if you are ever involved in an accident there is less of a chance you will be found liable because you are close to or past your ratings. It may also cost you more to insure a 1 ton, usually not much if nothing more. Registration maybe a tad higher as well because of the tonnage rating of the vehicle.

I've actually heard this can go the other way sometimes since you are statistically more likely to be involved in a crash with a 3/4 ton. Being the nature of insurance, I'm sure it varies though based on about 1000 other things.
Might be worth a call to the agent just to find out
Is there anything on the Platinum that can't be ordered on the King Ranch?
