I wouldn't say it is a no brainer. Everyone has a list of priority items. If a 1/2 ton that falls into the category of towing trailer and meets the other criteria better than a larger truck why should they make a purchase that falls short in the other areas.
And I don't subscribe to the mantra here to over purchase as you may upgrade later. If that is the case everyone would purchase a 4+ bedroom home as their first house because who knows if you will have kids or the parents/in-laws need to move in later. And switching trucks is surely easier than switching houses.
