You can purchase a used Freightshaker or a Pete or a Sterling or any make for that matter of Class 7 or 8 single axle tractor with a mid range diesel and an automatic or a 10 speed road ranger for a song compared to a new pickup and that SA tractor will out pull, get better fuel mileage and run longer with less upkeep than any new pickup truck today.
Any used truck dealer will have them or access to them and easy to modify for towing use too.
I would expect to pay less than 20K for a nice unit and another 5 to set it up to tow.
I used to bobtail everywhere and air ride makes that tolerable. air ride and a long wheelbase.

It looks like that Raptor has it squatting pretty good in the back. Maybe air suspension not pumped up?
Considering the truck is off, that wouldn't surprise me.
Medium duty trucks are cool. I wonder if the day is coming where they can be more pickup-like for our uses. If they offered one with 4wd, more power, and a cab that was more pickup and less semi, I bet they would sell the snot out of them.
I think everything that you don't like about the medium duty the 1 ton dually already has .... 4wd, more power, pickup like cab and less like a semi. I think there are very few RVs that would be nicer to tow with a Freightliner than a new 3500 dually.
