I think the reason automotive mfgs make 1/2 ton trucks is so they can sell you two trucks instead of only one. You buy the 1/2 ton when you want someplace to put your bicycles or tow a jet ski. Then when you really want to haul something, they get to sell you another truck that will really haul something.

Doesn't matter that my daily driver has adequate room for a crossbox full of tools, plus adequate space (payload) to haul a days worth of materials to the job site.
I shall immediately trade it in on a 3/4 ton, because while my trucks 1668 lbs of payload is adequate to haul our 10' kayaks in the 8' bed, we simply do not have enough truck to tow the TT.
Maybe I should see if this guy will sell me the MUCH BETTER 2500, that I need for hauling.

No, my 2500 is the wimp with it's 1424 lb payload - not yours! ;)
Bashing the 1/2 ton aside...OP, you seem to have a grasp on the capabilities of your truck. Stay within those boundries, no matter what some salesperson tries to talk you in to.
