If I buy again, I will look into a 1 ton. My buddy just bought a new 3500 non-dually chevy for cheaper than a similarly loaded new 2500. It's very nice :-)
but I now currently pull a boat with a 1959 Chevy Apache 4x4 with a modified 383 stroker and a 700r4..........it's more fun
just food for thought

Oh yeah! The '59 with the stroker would definitely be more fun. I'll get my fun at the destination, though. For now I'll be happy just to be able to get it to VIR and/or CMP for track days.
The gas mileage and wear-n-tear on a smaller truck is definitely a consideration. Thanks.
