My next vehicle will likely be a 3/4 ton. But I'm not looking at a diesel. I'm sticking with gas as I can't justify the added expense of buying and running a diesel for what I do. So I'll be happy with a 3/4 ton. I guess if I found a 1 ton gas, I'd be happy with it as well. I had a 3/4 ton diesel, but won't do that again. It doesn't fit my non-towing need. I have a 3km commute and put on less than 10K a year (2015 truck has 33,000 kms on it).
So, my rant was just about 3/4 ton diesels, not 3/4 ton in general
