GET THE PROPER TOOL FOR THE JOB!
Yes I was screaming it.
There is a huge difference between the two vehicles.
1500/150 you get likely P metric tires, lower rater frame,springs,tires,wheels.
250/2500 will get you full flotaing axle, bigger brakes, LT truck tires, beafier frame. Basically a much more stable towing platform.
There are a select few 140/1500s that are listed to tow your trailer, but. Yes, but, but what happens when you discover this monster trailer does not handle like you think it should and decide to upgrade to something else? Now you not only want more trailer but to handle it you need to spend big bucks on another truck. Buy a truck to handle your next trailer now.
Modern 2500s ride and handle nearly as well as 1500s from 5 years ago, so you reasoning is simply not there.
