Well I guess that's one way to look at it but not the intended way, my point that seemed to have gone over your head is IF im buying a truck to pull a 5th with, everything ive read says 1/2 ton truck is minimal for pulling...so IF im buying a truck anyway and there is always a chance of getting a bigger trailer why not just get the 3/4 ton to start with, in pulling its always better to error on the safe side and I never hear anyone saying " jeez this pulls too easy and gets too much fuel mileage, I should have bought a smaller truck" :)

If you are thinking of getting a large 5th wheel eventually, bump right up to the 1 ton dually diesel (seriously) but that wasn't what you asked.
If you get a 3/4ton, you will still have limitations on what you can pull assuming common production 5th wheels. We've got our F250 pretty much maxed out pulling a 34' rig now. If we wanted to bump up any more, I would want to upgrade the truck.
