3/4 Ton vs 1 Ton

In my opinion offering a 3/4 ton HD diesel is just plain stupid. By the time you load a small family and a hitch in the bed of a diesel 3/4 ton you haven't got enough payload left to pull more than a tent trailer.

really???? on my GMC Denali 3/4ton duramax crew cab 4x4 I can put two motorcycles in the back along with firewood camping gear and 3 adults along with the tongue weight of a 9,000lb trailer (1450lbs) and going over the scales I'm still under 10K lbs. Even my denali, with all the extra's has 2600lbs cargo capacity

Now had a 1 ton short bed SRW crew cab been available I would have bought it, but virtually all the 1 ton SRW in 4 states were long box.
