tragusa3-I feel your pain. Went thru this for about two years before buying last year. I was torn between GMC 1/2ton or 3/4 ton knowing full well that the 3/4 ton would do best. Then a magical thing happened...I discovered the Ecoboost and did some more research and the mpg numbers,torque rating and towing capicity took me over to Ford. I have the supercrew with 6.5 bed and max tow package and do just fine with a 7800lb. trailer. You may also want to add the maxhaul package to satisfy your needs.I don't really need the s-crew, but the ride was much better and it has plenty of room for your crew. I too could not see driving a 3/4ton daily for my commute either.With the 4x4, I got the 36gal tank which allows me to fill every two weeks with my daily driving which helps out the budget by hitting our pay periods which are also every two weeks. I also do not have every bell & whistle so if you order you can keep the price down by getting what you need.
