HA!
We currently have a Terry 27 ft half bunkhouse with no slide...
Towed it with a 1/2 ton Suburban for several years, now have a 2500 Suburban.
I did not join the weight police, but the truth of
both sides became clear.
The 1/2-ton did OK, but it really was maxed out. The 3/4-ton doesn't PULL it any better, but the big leaf springs and big tires, and big brakes...it handles better and doesn't have the maxed out feel.
Don't get me wrong- the camper makes the 3/4 ton work hard, and you must drive smartly and safely, but the 3/4 ton "handles it" with "improved comfort"...more about the suspension!
I acknowledge a bigger motor and different rear end, but the actual pulling is not that much different.
