fwiw,

I have towed my 2720 behind my 1500HD with the 6.5 foot bed and also with my 2500HD with the 8 foot bed. Both crew cabs. No WD hitch.

I can tell you that the bigger truck does substantially less porpoising (flexing vertically at the hitch on bump roads.

I attribute this to two things:

1. longer wheelbase

2. stiffer suspension

I am not trying to suggest that everyone should get a truck. I just want to point out my personal experience regarding what you MAY gain by using wheelbase or rear suspension capacity as a tie breaker when choosing a TV.
