I just think it's irresponsible to tell someone who is new to hauling, and new to RVing in general, that they should have no issues pulling their 8,000lb trailer no problem with their 1/2 ton truck, and if they are, then CLEARLY something is wrong. That's great if you're OK doing it, but not everyone is.
So the majority of this thread is about the need to properly set a tow vehicle up, so that you have all the correct equipment, properly installed and adjusted, to allow for a safe, comfortable towing experience, and all you got out of it was this? Hum, interesting.
BTW, after fifteen years of TT towing, and a huge amount of learning here, I bought a properly equipped "half-ton" pick-up, hitched it to a new 30' 8000lb trailer, using a new dual-cam WDH that I installed and adjusted. Over the next year of use, I never had a single moment of thinking anything but, "this is one sweet combination" while towing for 13,000 miles. it's all about the right knowledge, equipment and experience, in that order.
