We used to work out of 3/4 ton suburbans, but those are all used for kid haulers now...

I believe that 3/4 ton is a good idea for a number of reasons. The biggest drawback is that any modern truck that is 3/4 ton is so far off the ground that it is a PITA to work out of. We got a Ram 2500 and no one wanted to work out of it.

A Toyota Tundra, with helper springs in the back ended up being the favorite truck in the stable.
