I have an honest question, not being smart or anything, I just don't understand why anyone would choose a 3/4 ton for 5th wheel towing, or any heavy towing for that matter, over a 1 ton? Is it cost or ride quality or something else?
It just seems like going straight to the 1 ton makes sense. To me the only decisions would be gas/diesel and SRW/DRW.
I mean we couldn't have hauled this beast with anything less than our dually. OK not a 5th wheel so different topic but I do have plenty of experience with big *** trucks. Sure it is a bit bouncy unloaded, it rides like a truck. No air suspension, plus it's an '01 so not exactly full of the latest creature comforts. But the husband daily drives this truck most days! It's harder to maneuver because of the DRW, but a SRW is probably plenty for most towing and isn't any bigger or harder to park than a 3/4 ton.
