In reality, there are very few instances when two extra feet of length inside the tailgate really makes any difference. A more compelling question may be "If you are going to but a PU truck, why would you ever buy a 1/2 ton?"
I always wonder why anyone would buy a 3/4 ton over a 1 ton. Price difference is minimal, dimensions are the same and the ride quality on the new 1 ton SRW's are on par with a 1/2 ton of just a few years ago.
Why buy a 3/4 ton over a 1 ton? well if you are commercial and the weigh scales say "all commercial trucks over 4500kg (9800lbs) report then lights are flashing" the 1 ton HAS to report even if empty as it goes on GVWR where the 3/4 ton drives by.
I don't think that many people posting on this forum are towing there 5th wheels commercially and those that are HOPEFULLY know what they need.
