Help making a decision on truck purchase.
I am thinking of buying a new truck to pull our winnebago micro Minnie 5th wheel. We currently have a 2006 gmc 2500 . I’d like to go with a smaller truck for gas mileage and was thinking of a Toyota ...

You won't notice any improvement in gas milage going froma 2500 to a 1500.
They are the same size. Different weight capacity. The Ford ecoboost might be a good choice. They seem to get better mileage than the V8's.
That said, I think any 5th wheel will pull better with a 2500. You will be close to max cargo weight in most 1500's.
Lol. Too bad the bigger trucks always get worse mileage, not even close. Couple few mpg different consistently.
But to your point, one will never get worse enough mileage compared to the other to make “buying a new truck” a financial savings. But it’s a good justification for a new truck! Lol.
