Anyway you can get a 3/4 ton truck?

You can also step up to a 1 ton (350/3500) SRW, and have even more choices.
It just scares me to death the number of 1/2 ton owners that thing Air bags and Super Springs, solve the issues of the Semi floating 5 to 7 lug rear axles under the load they are putting on it. Wait until they see one of their rear tires passing them on the highway.

We have a friend who does that. Very scarry!
It seems as though the only education people get about towing is on this site and that is a very small percentage of the people out there towing.
