Specter, I tied just what you are thinking about. I had a 3\4 ton I used as a daily driver and towed my trailer and tractors. I was spending a bunch in gas just going to and from work not counting the few times a month I used it to tow. So I bought a good condition older one ton to do my towing and a short bed 4 cylinder ranger as my daily driver. I have about 11,500 in both trucks togeather and thats a lot less then I had in the 3/4 ton. I now have a larger truck with more HP to tow with and a daily driver that cost less in upkeep, tires, parts, ect. for daily driving and is easier on parts, tires, ect. Insurance is just about same for 6 months but in gas alone I will save almost 2,000 just going to and from work. In just a little over 5 years I will have saved enough money just in gas going to and from work to have paid for both trucks. My 3/4 ton was 2001 Dodge, my ranger is 2003 and 1 ton dually is 85 f-350 with 460. Also if I still had the 3/4 ton I would be looking at replacing it in 2-3 years and now I will not replace for 5-6 years. I beleave for me it was a good idea and will save me a lot of money in long run. Good luck.
