A 3/4 or 1 ton may be needed for a 6000lb trailer if you fill the TV cab with people and the bed with payload. Not to mention the margin of stability gained by such a combination when the TV out weighs the trailer. FYI having too much TV is a real thing, the potential for trailer instability is very high if it’s weight is less than 25% of the TV.
You're going to have to explain that one to me. I've towed around little utility trailers and such with no trouble at all. As long as the trailer is balanced properly I don't see how it matters what type of truck is on the other end of the hitch. I guess I could see how a driver in a heavier truck wouldn't notice a little trailer swaying around and that could be problematic, but truck being heavier wouldn't contribute to the sway.
