Have to agree with the 1 Ton advocates. Why bother with 2500's when you can get a 1 Ton for close to the same money and have the added capacity. Yeah I hear the comments, " but they ride better when I pick up groceries and the kids at soccer". However since we are discussing this in the expedition forum Hard Side TC section I'm advocating capacity/capability. Look at all the MOD's guys end up doing, even with 1 tons. However those 1 Ton mods seem to be done for those monsters basement TC's with slides etc. For capability to go most areas, I'm leaning towards non-basement or semi basement short-box, narrow body TC on a 1 ton (insert brand here).
