(Not surpringly) I disagree. One can have too much truck: Having more truck than necessary is wasteful, both in terms of money and resources consumed, unless you already have the big truck for other reasons.
It's good that towing is a pleasure. It is for me too.
In terms of resources it's all a waste Ford Ranger or Diesel dually.
None of us have to camp.
In terms of reduced stress and a nice relaxed tow you can't have too much truck.
The guys that tow with HDT's capable of towing 80K loaded trailers do so because they know a 20-30K loaded 5'er will be no challenge for a truck that large regardless of the terrain.
When talking commuter cars less may have advantages. However when talking RV towing more truck beats marginal or adequate any day.
