how much can they carry

I was wondering how they come up with the classification of the super dutys. I know the F250 is supposed to be 3/4 ton and the F350 a 1 ton. I went and picked up gravel for around my pool two weeks ago. The first load was just under 2800 lbs. My truck didn't seem to mind at all. I went back for another load and this time I got 3484 lbs. The suspension was getting a work out with that load. Now my truck is a 02' F250, how can it carry 3484 lbs?
