This post wasn’t about the cost effectiveness of RVing. As titled it’s about the most efficient .5 ton while towing. What’s wrong with people discussing that?
While towing 1/2 ton appropriate loads I’m sure it will be either the Ram Ford or coming GM 3.0 diesel. Don’t want a diesel then it looks to be the new GM 6.2 10 speed. At least while towing a 7k enclosed trailer at 70 mph and of the three compared. All 3 are fine trucks that I would be enjoy driving.
I know a fella who towed a 7k ish enclosed trailer daily. He was an independent contractor for a private pkg delivery service that served industry in the Salt Lake Provo Utah area. He chose a 3.0 diesel .5 ton truck and was a tinkerer that did multiple videos about his truck. I would also if it meant getting 13 or 14 mpg instead of 8 or 9. He put on 190k in less than 3 years before passing on. I’m sure it improved his profit margin.
In the RVing world choosing the right pick up it might make towing to a further away better location affordable with the limited discretionary funds of a young family.
