The trouble with that is, the more truck / cushion they have, the safer they feel, the faster they go down the road. A 3/4 ton diesel hauling a 8,000 lb RV at 80 mph in the hammer lane ain't any safer then the guy with the (properly equipped) F150 hauling the same RV at 65 mph in the right lane. I see it all the time.
This is a very true statement.
Knowing that most people, it seems, don't have an indepth working knowledge of vehicles or towing (at least the ones asking questions like "Will I ever be happy towing with a half ton?")
The sense of "security" of a bigger truck can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how brave the driver is.
But as you said, you can tow safely with either type of rig.
Bigger = better? Typically yes, but that should not be translated to Smaller = bad in all cases.
