    A 3/4 ton anything rides much worse on rough roads. It’s also generally taller and longer and has a worse turning radius. Newer 3/4 ton trucks ride better than the older ones, but still not the same as a 1/2 ton.

    Right. Other considerations are garage space and parking for work. My 5.5’ bed fits in the garage but a 6.5’ would not. Some places just aren’t big enough for a HD truck with huge tow mirrors.

    I'm saying that it isn't. I was implying that it is very similar to my 2019 CM (with a 5.5' bed obviously) which I wouldn't want to daily through Beacon Hill either.

    The very famous "Acorn Street" in Beacon Hill, Boston, MA:

    Yep. Home builders/design architects that have 19.2' deep garages should be tarred and feathered.

    Wow. Does anyone drive in those streets? Looks like the tires would be curb to curb.

    I'm 99% positive it's pedestrian only. I've seen smoother (and wider) single track courses.

    Nothing yet, brand new.
    I tow a smaller (8’x10’) single axle landscape maintenance setup 3-4 times per week, & the truck performs great with it. No highways/interstate usage, just around town kind of hauling. I’ve never weighed myself with the trailer, but my 54” mower is approximately 1400 lbs. 4 pieces of power equipment, steel rack for power equipment, and a push mower. With all that I’m probably around the same 1900lbs you have. Gas mileage fluctuates around 13-14 mpg which is rough. My 2010 Double cab was about the same mpg, but the V8 was a noticeable difference
