Sure you can have too much truck.
We know people who full time in 20' travel trailers.
It would be silly and a waste of money to buy a new 1 ton diesel dually to pull a little 20' travel trailer.
Everyone gets to have an opinion.
Yes and I know people who start out with a 40ft 5er. Your point being that having more truck than absolutely necessary is silly. Well that is just a silly thing to say. BTW you do not even need a truck to pull a 20ft trailer I did it with an Astro Van.
Most of those people you are calling silly start small and recognize they will want to upgrade to a bigger trailer after a few years. It is called getting a feel for what you like. Not such a silly way to operate.
I will agree that buy anything vehicle new is a waste of money, but I never said the OP should buy a NEW truck.
By this logic, you should buy a class 8 semi-tractor to pull a pop-up because some day you might want a 50' custom built 5th wheel.
A little extra capacity isn't bad but blanket statements that you can't have too much truck is just silly.
