Half ton to three quarter....... Worth it?
Have an awesome truck. Born to pull and does great at it. It's a 4X4 Chevy Silverado, 1500, crew cab short box. My trailer is 8500 lbs and the family of four, plus two 100 lb dogs, plus a truck canopy...

Your putting a strain on a half ton that even though it can pull it, your beginning the wear cycle early. We have a 3/4 Suburban and not only is it built significantly heavier duty, it also allowed us to trade up to a heavier TT. When we put together the original setup, we didn't even consider getting another TT, but we got the bug and bought a larger heavier rolling hotel room. Wait till you get into the mountains or do long tows its a noticeable difference. I see half tons struggle and I drive right by them. Our next TV will be either a 3/4 or 1 ton as will progress upto a fiver for more storage, larger bed bath and living space as well as easier to tow
