The payload is higher because the truck weighs less.
Trucks these days should not go by 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton. Throw all that out the window. They go by what they are rated for...the GVWR.
My 7700 has a payload of 2200 lbs. Take the truck weight, full of fuel and me, of 5500 lbs from 7700lb GVWR and you get 2200lbs. Well, that is over a ton...in an F150.
