Began towing in 1989, went thru 2 pickups, one Nissan UD and when we retired, bought a 1996 FL60 Freightliner. Said at the time it will be our last truck, so far it has been. We tow now a 38' HH. YMMV

I think you were wise to get a commercial duty medium duty truck, rather than a pickup or a light medium duty, based on a pickup.
Frame size, suspension components, engine, transmissions, build quality, durability...all at a medium duty level.
I'm still surprised that more don't go that route.
It makes sense to me, if one is going to have a large, heavy trailer and intends to RV for many miles and years.
