Right? The thing is though, we still have empty cupboards! I would blame my wife and her clothes, but the pin weight is only ~5,000. (Haven't re-weighed since we started pulling the second trailer)

You could look at the new 5.0L Cummins-powered Nissans. Looks like they're trying to fill the gap between 1/2 and 3/4 pickups. Could be perfect if you're trying to not step up to the full size trucks.
