If you stay at or under that 7500lb GVWR and around a 30ft long trailer you will be fine. I have been towing my 7200lb GVWR trailer with 2 different F150 4x4 ecos for years now and over 40k miles without any issue at all and all within all specs of the truck including gvwr and payload. You say you're looking at a 2wd truck that will put you near the 2000lb payload capacity with a properly equipped half ton. Mine has 1700 and change with the 4x4 crew long bed. It just all depends on what all you have in the truck and passengers too. You could easily be close to max payload on a 3/4 ton diesel also as some of the loaded f250s I have seen have a 1700lb payload the same as my 1/2 ton. My 150's hitch is rated for 1320lbs of hitch weight when using a WDH which is a necessity. Find the trailer 1st then buy the truck that will fit you and your trailers needs.

Well that would be comparing a stripped 1/2 ton to a loaded 3/4 ton.... I would rather drive the loaded truck. Point is, your comparison should be stripped vs stripped. or loaded vs loaded. Otherwise you are just twisting the subject to win a debate point... Should go into politics.

Umm not stripped whatsoever...I have every option available in my truck but the leather heated wheel and cooled/massaging seats but then again the 1700lb payload 3/4 ton I was quoting wouldn't have massaging seats either...soooo not many differences other than those 3 ;)

And politics...you wanna talk about politics how about 90% of the members on here who push for a HD truck every time someone wants to tow anything over 5k....and then there are some of us who say it can be done within limits but those people like yourself have a rebuttal for every single time a half ton would be within all of its limits....maybe YOU sir should get into politics :)
