The only reason we have our half ton is to pull the TT. We are at its limits, and I only continue to use it because we typically tow short distance over flat grades, and I have never felt insecure when towing. It acclerates and brakes well, and I've never had issues with sway.
While I'd like to move up to a 2500 for towing, the 1500 is already a gas hog that my wife drives around for shopping and work. And the fuel bill is horrendous as gas goes over $3.50/gallon. I can't imagine having to pay more with a 2500.
Of the mileage we put on the half ton, only a small fraction involves towing. So I'd be paying a boatload more in gas that would only beneift me during the few miles that we tow. Obviously that is my personal situation, and everyone's is different.
Also, I priced out pickups since ours is now 12 years old. Talk about sticker shock! We plan on getting many more years out of the Avalanche. A few repairs here and there are nothing compared to the price of a new or even a used pickup!
I can't imagine the daunting financial task of having to buy a TV and a TT at the same time!
