When I traded my TT in for my first FW, it was a light version. I had a 2002 Chevy 1500. It caused the rear end to sag pretty bad, but some new springs helped that.
I pulled it a few times for some camping trips and short vacations. It pulled okay, though a little sluggish going up mountains. Unfortunately, at 36,150 miles, the transmission said "I quit" and disintegrated. But fortunately, the extended warranty covered it. I immediately traded it in for a 2500 and never had another issue.
It could have been just bad luck, but I really don't feel the 1/2 ton series of trucks are a good choice for a FW. That's my personal opinion, so take it for what it's worth.
