What are you missing? I have no idea. Have you compared it to towing with a F-250 or F-350? I have been going back and forth between half tons and three quarter ton models for the last twenty years. Most of the half tons have been adequate, the three quarter tons have been more than adequate. That's why I tow with a 3/4 ton today. I couldn't care less about fuel mileage or daily driver, I like a great towing experience.
Tom,
You are just the class of folks that I referred to with the anecdotal experiences that have towed with both the 1/2 and 3/4 and higher type trucks. It scares me when folks try and rationalize a IMO questionable decision by saying it "tows fine, but I've been blown around", "tows fine out here in the NE, but might be different out west", "blaming less that adequate towing experiences soley on inferior equipment", etc. Again, in both my OP and this one, I have tried to clearly say that my views are "MY OPINION" and the basis of my opinion has not been scientific, but anecdotal. People that feel the need to justify their TV choice by rediculous statements such as "do I tow with a Freightliner", etc. are clearly again IMO in that camp that "they don't know what they don't know":B and are what I would call "red herring" chuckers throwing around nonsensical statements to deflect serious and considered thought about towing.
