No matter how much power and torque, and how many gears in trans, 1/2 ton will most likely run out of rear axle weight capacity between tongue weight, passengers, and cargo. And then there’s the issue of rear axle durability. Would u rather have a 1500 axle running at around 100 percent capacity, or a nice beefy Full Floating rear axle in a 2500? Durability is important.
