Old biscuit... I couldn't agree more. I'd like to add... they can all be overloaded, too. I also agree, a 1/2T is marginal, especially the 96 I had, with barely adequate brakes for only the truck. NCH, It's easy to end up in the 1/2T mess. I bought one for light home projects, then later on, we bought a small 5er that I knew needed to be in the 1/2T limits but not realizing how anemic a 1/2T really is. It was my first P/U and I learned FAST... I traded for my first CTD in less than a year! Sorry if I sounded too harsh... I have empathy for the 1/2T guys and how things can snowball on them!  Craig
