I pull a slightly bigger TT with a Silverado 5.3 V8 and 3.42 gears. Almost forget it's there and the truck actually rides better with the weight.
My TV is my daily driver. It rides quite nice and I get 17 ~ 18 mixed driving and 22 ~ 23 highway. That's without the trailer.
With the trailer I get 11 ~ 12 MPG and it's a calm experience.
Going to a 2500 HD will get you the 4.10 ratio and ~16 MPG without the TT and the ride will be harsh.
My wife and I go to many RV shows and we look at lots of TT and compare why the one we have is better. Not just because it's paid for but that does give us extra money to travel more often. TV is paid for TT is too.
Buying a over sized and much more expensive truck because you MIGHT upgrade someday is not what I would call good advice.
