There lies another point.
My 1500HD crew cab, is not used for a daily driver. I use it to:
1. tow the TM to go camping
2. haul stuff that is too bing for my other truck
3. backup vehicle when either my or DWs daily driver is in the show. DW's Sentra has been in the shop for a week now, so she is driving the 1500HD. I just don't see my reason to rent a car daily until such time as hers is fixed.
So, when choosing a TV, consider if it will also be a daily driver.
When purchasing a dedicated TV, you may decide on a divverent vehicle than you would if it was also a tV.
BTW, my brother tow a 30+ foot Montana 5er and better mileage than I do in my daily driver, a 1997 Dakota 2wd v6 extended cab truck. He is getting around 19, but it is diesel.
