1/2 ton trucks?

1/2, 3/4, 1-ton... They are all light trucks with payload ranges from 1-4,000 lbs. which is pretty much the entry step rating on a "real" truck....:B ...lol

Don't dumb down the issue with facts sir. Those with 3/4 or 1 ton trucks that look down their collective noses at half ton trucks don't want to hear that in the grand scheme of things, they are driving grocery getters too.

Before everyone jumps down my throat... I didn't say ALL 3/4 or 1 ton owners... just those that look down upon half ton owners.

There is a reason they sell hammers in different weights. You don't need a sledge to drive in a nail. Their is a tool for every task, just like there is a truck for every task.

I pull a 6500 lbs trailer and am satisfied with the size of my endowment. I don't need a 8800+ GVWR truck to pull my trailer or make up for some inadequacies.

When the day comes that I need to pull 8000+ lbs, I will move up to a higher payload truck. Until then, I enjoy the lower price, softer ride and better fuel economy of my half ton.
