Thank you
If you want a truck for towing, why get one with such low ratings?
There are plenty of 1/2 ton's with greater ratings.
My trailer is 37ft long, 8,400lbs dry/9,900lbs max, and my 1/2 ton tow's and handles it very well.
It all depends on what you need and what you have to compromise on, and my HDPP F150 is more than adequate for my trailer while offering me a better truck than a 3/4 or 1 ton can offer when not towing ...a two'fer.
