For those on the 1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton bubble...

it can but the experience is much less stressful when you're not always concerned with the tow vehicle. Towing with the half ton was fine for short distances that didn't tax the vehicle but for trips of hundreds of miles up and down steep grades, a tow vehicle that is not maxed out, or close to it, is a wonderful feeling.

having a better tow vehicle makes traveling a much better experience.

I agree. It was less driver fatigue and less worry about wear and tear for me.

This was my experience as well - can totally see the point the OP is making. I towed my previous Coleman TT with my new 2500 on 2 trips before upgrading to a fifth wheel. Had to - that drop shank was expensive! Previously towed with a Tundra. Driver fatigue was big for me - not when towing with the 2500.

Like the OP - not saying that the Tundra couldn't do the job - just that the 2500 did it a whole lot better with less stress on the driver - me.
