What it comes down to is lightweight towing (2k lbs) but lots of miles (a few times across the country and lots of steady highway inclines). I didn't think that light load would necessitate a 3/4 ton - though interior space is nice on the long haul (spoiled by the Sprinter). I guess what I should really solidify from this here braintrust is whether a V8 is totally necessary or would V6 suffice?
