I would agree, not looking at a mid or larger 5er, TT in the 6K to 10K range, a gas 3/4 ton makes perfect sense.
Where many run into an issue is wanting a diesel 3/4 ton and a mid size 5er and end up like me over GVWR. I am not in panic mode, but looking for a new or newer Ram 3500 DRW.

I know that newer gas 3/4 and One Ton's are being rated to as much as 15K, personally I would never want to tow that much with a gas TV. I also don't want to tow a 20K 5er even with a diesel DRW.
