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.
I don't get it either. He could get a singled HDT that would cost more out of the box, but he'd get about the same mileage, and major components should last 500K. I would think that the cost per mile over the long haul would be less. Also, he could even have a sleeper to legally sleep in the truck. But to each their own, it's his business not mine.
