Not sure where y’all got the itch to try to analyze the OPs overall vehicle situation…..lol
Was it because he has a (presumably, since a LBZ would not have him thinking about poor fuel mileage ) gas hog older 3/4 ton and mentioned getting a half ton for better mpgs?
Any newer half ton will get 30% + better gas mileage than that old 6.0 or 8.1 in city and highway driving. (Not towing).
To the OP, almost any new half ton with anything bigger than the base engines (heck most of the base engines will tow it perty ok as well, just not by 2023 standards) will tow that small 5ver just fine. But you’ll need to beef up the rear suspension.
