Druid, Facts only, no opinions: I've been towing heavy construction trailers (bumper pull and gooseneck with pickups for 30 years) in many major cities as well as open roads (Colo. Rockies thru WY & MT to TX and ME). I've owned 3/4 and 1 ton, SRW and duelly: Chev, Ford and Dodge (gas and diesels in all). Bought new 2013 39' Mountaineer and pulled with diesel and gas Chev 2500s. Sold 2015 Duramax and kept 2016 gasser. Wife drives nearly as much as I and we've NEVER had an issues other than cheap tires blowing out.

Get the best tire. NOW my opinions: change tires over to 7:50X14 G rated=14 ply and install tire sensors for heat and pressure. If equipment is kept in good condition, it's also more about the driver than the equipment.

Congrats and enjoy retirement with whatever direction YOU decide to go.
