I understand that this is a great setup for some. Personally I would not want to drive around in a "SmartCar", I like some metal around me. Also don't see why having two rigs with engines and only really drive one while camped. One rig should do everything you want. Any newer 350/3500 will work as a daily driver and tow your load within specs. Also most women would drive the pickups well before the Big Rig.
As far as holding up traffic that has not been an issue with my 33-35K combined load.
Nice to have options!
Like you said, "Nice to have options."
I carry at least 3, sometimes 4 motorcycles in the toy hauler, someday I might add a RZR to that mix. The Smart Car,is a lot stronger then you may think when it comes to being in a crash, no its not a 1960's tank but there's a lot more protection there then when I am riding one of my bikes. My over all gross weight is well over 40,000 pounds depending on how I am loaded up to 45,000 I am not saying your pickup won't pull it but I guarantee your pickup can't stop it in a safe and controlled manner in the distance the HDT can. Different strokes for different folks, it all comes down to the FREEDOM to live our lives as we wish.
