Over the years on this and other forums over ‘half ton’ and always thought those Unicorn half ton HD’s were for folks who insist on only a half ton, even though they are in 3/4 ton territory…
Dad was one of those after killing several station wagons hauling for our specialty grocery/butcher shop.
After picking up some cases of turkeys that spilled on the rugs…mom had it and told dad to get a truck…as the station wagon was also our ‘car’ for family trips.
Went around and around with dad till uncle bill said just order that 1980 Silverado C10 with the “Big Ten” option. Today’s 1500HD half ton.
Even had to install aftermarket, 1 ton helper coils on the rear axle. Today’s Timberns or air bags
Dad was also a ‘ride quality’ guy, but had a good reason…his back was fused after too many back injury’s carrying a beef quarter.
Marketing knows all that and continues the legend with half ton towing a stripped space shuttle commercials
