That's because the people on here don't think a 1/2 ton is capable of towing up to it's maximum ratings.
The OP needs a TV with at least 9000 pound tow rating and 1800+ pounds of payload. If he has the 9400 pounds tow rated 3/4 ton Suburban mentioned in OP, then there is no reason to change. There are some half ton pickups that fit that, but not many. Meanwhile, every late model 3/4 ton crew cab pickup would work well. If you find a half ton with 10k pound tow rating or even 12k pounds with only 1500 pounds of payload, the rear axle and GVWR with bee exceeded. If you find a half ton with 2000 pounds of payload and 1200 pound receiver limit, that's a good fit too. My point is one cannot only look at tow ratings for any vehicle when it comes to RVing.
