2022 2500 GAS Payload question

2021 Tradesman Gas 2500 4x4 with L2 equipment. Came from a 2019 1500 Big Horn. The only thing I miss is the stereo controls on the back of the steering wheel and the auto dim rear view and driver's side mirror.
MAX PAYLOAD
3086.55LBS
MAX TOWING
17086.55LBS
 
Will this be a daily driver or mainly for towing? If towing is the main concern, why not just jump to a 3500? That’s what I did, the gasser can handle 10-12k no problem. I wanted the payload of the 3500, easy to hit 2000-2500lbs of pin weight on a 10-12k 5er.

I tend to ignore the mfg pin weight rating. They usually calculate at 15% when reality is often 20-25%.
 
That's pretty good payload. How's the MPG when towing?
 
Yes

Yes it will be the daily driver that's the problem. We've got an F150 now and my husband hates to give it up so even getting a 3/4 ton is pushin it for him. I seriously don't think our pin weight would fall in the 20% category.. probably closer to 15% or less. I know things start adding up as far as cargo but we really don't carry that much. We'll put some things in the trailer if we have too.
 
Yeah you’ll lose some fuel mileage and it will ride a little rougher but it will do really good towing. If you do get this setup I would get the Timbren SES. They will take care of the squat.
