Hi Tim,

I've wondered about it too...... I have the same truck as you and I'm
getting killed at the pump.

I haven't heard about anyone who uses one to tow a heavy trailer, but I
have a niggle that the 3/4 ton is still the better tow vehicle.

The 3/4 tons have beefier everything.......

If you hear anything besides rumors, please let us know.
