We had a 36' WW SLC. When we bought it we had a 1999 Dodge 2500 Diesel. We towed it home and fuel went from 25+ mpg to 9.9 mpg. This was an empty trailer and it still pushed the truck and tried to pull it sideways with any wind. We opted to put it on a permanent site while we looked for a medium duty. Medium duty got 24.5 mpg loaded or unloaded. Picked it up for half the price of a pickup. Sold the WW a couple years ago and went back to a truck camper after the kids became adults.

You guys are awfully nice to him. I'm not sure I'd pull a 30' toy hauler with a 25 year old 3/4 ton. I'm pretty sure a 40' would be so scary in the first few miles that it'd be instantly recognizable as a terrible idea.
Bonus if it has the semi floating rear axle that many 3/4 ton Chevys had then. The 4k of pin weight has to be more than double the payload of that truck, and that's not even including the weight of the people inside.
I just realized this was an ancient thread--consequences of searching. Sorry everyone.
190 horsepower by the way. That's what he'd have on tap to move ~20k pounds down the road.
