If you actually use the capabilities of a half ton

Locate a “C” Code 6.2 Diesel 2WD and install a 5 speed shift along with 3.23 or numerically lower (read higher) rear gears.

With a small amount of hypermiling you will be in the 20-30 mpg area with minimal effort, stop and go not so much,
10 ton loads not that either (without different rear gears or a 2 speed t-case)
