I don't agree. It's just not that simple. Sometimes the reverse makes more sense, depending on the use case.
Exactly. General rules are nice but there are always exceptions. If I was a full time RV'er pulling a 30 foot TT and only needed 1800 to 2000 pounds payload; 6.4 would pull it great, but constant trips pulling a load is where the diesel shines, as long as you can make your payload work you're better off there with the diesel even in the 2500.
Some of us also have zero desire to upsize our trailer, I happen to like smaller trailers as they are easier to work with when finding spots to park them.
So my 1500 pulls my trailer just great. But if I was on the road constantly then a 2500 cummins would be in my driveway no question.
