Using a newer 3/4 ton as a DD is not bad. I use both my car and truck, but sometime the truck is the primary for a while. I don't mind it a bit. I would rather have a truck made for towing then trying to upgrade the components on my 1/2 ton to provide what a 3/4 ton already provides. Not that I feel the 1/2 ton trucks can't pull there rated towing. The newer ones are really impressive, but if I have to order extra packages with them, just make it simple go 3/4 ton. Btw the new dodge 2500 is a really nice truck, I have seen them up close and really like the way they have improved them.
