It also rides harder than a 1/2 ton - stiffer springs and load range E (80psi) tires. I air the tires down to 55 when I'm not towing, or for winter use and it's not as bad.

Yeah, this is the thing me and the misses were going back and forth on last night. When we needed a towing truck, we traded our F150 in on a GMC Sierra SLT 2500HD SLT (same version as your truck, but maybe a year or two newer) But ours was crew cab and had the duramax/allison combo. I don't need a towing truck now, mainly looking for a work truck.
And after the lease is finished on the edge, it may become my daily driver for a while. I think I need something that will use a little less fuel.
