No way a semi truck with a much bigger engine and drivetrain towing the same RV as a DRW pickup is going to get better mileage.

More money to maintain and most likely more to insure.

I remember around 2011 when DRW pickups came out that could handle the big RV’s people were selling their MD Freightliners as fast as they could and bought DRW pickups.

Seat comfort? I have towed many 8-22 hour days and felt great.

I would say not even close to needed! When you see rear axle ratings and tow ratings of the current fleet of 3500/350's most have 5,500# Payloads and Diesel towing capacity around 25,000#.
I would not bat an eye carrying that 5er with our 2016 Ram Laramie 3500 DRW.
It is hard enough to get people accept that they need a DRW to carry a large 5er, let alone a class 7 or class 8 TV!
They want big 5er's, but refuse to the difference between the ablity to carry, and the ablity to pull.
It's too BIG I can't go through the drive through, to hard to park in a parking lot, learn to back in to spaces!

Russ you are among the very few that have a clue what their RV actually weighs.
It’s crazy how they never stop gaining weight, kinda like a Pig.
