A buddy of mine just went through this. He had a half-ton Dodge (2013 with the Hemi, I think) and bought a 28' TT. He posted a picture of the new camper on his Facebook page (before talking to me) and I sent him a private message betting that he would buy a 3/4 ton truck after one or two trips.
He did.
I have a 2011 Ram 3/4 ton with the 6.7 Cummins and an H&S tuner. My Forest River 28BH compresses the rear springs slightly without a WD hitch but pulls nicely.
Before the 2011 Ram, I had a 2005 with the 5.9 Cummins and a mild tow/haul chip.
After a debate with a friend about the expense of driving my Cummins for a year vs. his Chevy 1/2 ton for a year, we came up with a difference (excluding purchase price) of about $250 for the year - that was back when diesel was much more expensive than gas. We normalized the expenses for each our our annual mileage numbers.
