Why is my tow rating so lame?

A current 1-ton truck can have up to something like a 22,000 pound trailer weight, but my 402 Longhorn, with a 1-ton frame (but 3/4 T suspension) is rated for only 7500, which is far less than a modern 3/4T as well.

Why were they rated so low? What's the "weak link" that the rating is protecting me from?
