Just a couple of additional considerations. I really think you need a reality check considering MPG no way you are going to get 8mpg difference in the 1/2 vs the 3/4 ton as you stated. al reality I get about 14 mpg unloaded my 1/2 ton got 15.6.

I am not saying the 1500 will not do the job. But it will not do as safely and adequately as a 3/4 ton. And yes the almost 1 liter difference in the GM 1500 vs 2500 is a big deal. not throwing stones just want you to consider the real differences.
