Not sure you'll need the flame suit; you're absolutely correct.
IMO that's why you see many medium-duty tow trucks running around town even though light duties are up to the task capacity-wise; longevity, durability, and cost effectiveness.
Those 1-ton diesels so heavily worshipped on the forum are, truth be told, at the very bottom of the food chain when it comes to commercial duty, even if they meet specs for the task.
