Armed with this info we went with the 3500 gasser. More than enough HP (410), Torque (430) and payload (3810#) to carry the tongue weight and pull our TT. YMMV
I'm the same. I had a 2001 Dmax 2500, but with a 3km one way daily commute, I was killing the damn thing.

What I have now is bare minimum. But I (being a GM guy) am really intrigued by the 2020 GMC specs. Payload is just shy of 4K (per the published specs).
