I agree with you, the bigger truck will never be used to it utmost extent. with a gvw of 80,000 most people will never pull that most weight. pulling a 40 er will never get there 20 thousand at most so the truck will not be working at all to pull a trailer. Plus savings of 25 thousand dollars. The new Dodge has a exhaust break on it as well. having the bigger nose in frount of you is a plus in a reck. the only thing is in the dirt they don,t do so well. I got stuck the last time out and had to have three differnt trucks pull me. So that why I was thinking of a 4x4 don't like to have others pull me. but with super singles and a lockers in a big truck should be able to pull threw the lose sand pretty good.
