By the time the 'folks who insist only on a 'half ton', even though they should have a higher class TV...they have built or purchased an 'almost' 3/4 ton, but lesser class never the less and the 'ride quality' inches up to the next higher class...AKA 3/4 ton or more
Any of the current "big diesels" with their 6 speed transmissions would outperform that drivetrain both with respect to performance and fuel economy.
My truck was roughly $39,400 before tax and title approx 3 years ago. I could not have touched a 2015 F150 in a Crew Cab 6.5' bed configuration with the 3.5EB, 4wd, HD Payload/Max Tow and the various options my truck has for $30,400 at that time.
