My camper is just a shade under 6,000 lbs. loaded and I used to pull it with a ½ ton Silverado, 5.3l motor, and a tow package using an Equalizer hitch.

So in MY world and MY world only, pulling the same camper with a ½ ton and a ¾ ton…there was a HUGE difference.
That's just it, it's not your world only... There IS an enormous difference. I loved my wife's half-ton Ford -- preferred the softer suspension for driving in town too -- but there was no comparison between towing with that truck and towing with one of the shop Ford diesels or our 3500 Dodge cummins. It's a night and day difference. I have tremendous respect for the new Tundras too... But nobody really believes they tow like any of the diesel one-tons... Not even Toyota dealers. :-)
