If you're going to spend more than 50% of your time going 70mph on paved roads, go with the half ton. Less than 50%, get the 3/4 ton. The 1500 is a boulevard cruiser; the 2500 is a work truck. That extra 1000# consists of heavy duty components and reinforcing intended to cope with larger payloads and general jobsite stress. The tradeoff is a mpg or two less ON the highway, to be weighed against increased reliability OFF the highway (assuming no HD towing package).
