So all of you 1500 haters
We were driving up 321 earlier running 70 MPH. A 3500 with what looked like a 28' toy hauler passed us. We watched it as it SWAYED, wiggled, wondered around on the road, and nearly went in the ditch. ...

So you see, It does not matter what you tow with. If not done correctly. It will sway. Having a 2500, or 3500 is NO magic elixir. My 30' TT is dead still behind my F150. I would not be in that 3500 with that TT hooked to it. It was too scary
I've got nothing against half ton trucks at all and I don't see anything magical about my 3/4 ton. But travelling this summer over the passes in northwestern Montana and northern Idaho my 3/4 ton ran 75-80 mph (save your "OMG OMG TOO FAST TOO FAST" comments, I don't care!) up 4th of July and Mullan passes with 7,500lbs behind it and got 13mpg doing so. While my father-in-laws 1/2 barely managed 60mph and 6mpg with 7,000lbs behind.
That is all the reason I need to keep my 3/4 ton diesel, and that is honest personal experience, not a "magic elixer".
