Question I have is, if I upgrade the TV to 2500 (3/4 Ton) and look to purchase a trailer that will probably be as much as 8500# - 9500#, does the 3/4 ton remove the white-knuckle experience?
Absolutely not. No one can say with any certainty that towing a trailer that large with a 1/2 or 3/4 will not be a white knuckle experience in any given condition. There are too many variables.
You may want to try a Hensley or Propride hitch at some point before upgrading to a truck you may not actually need for more than a few weekends a year. Heck, even with a 3/4 ton, towing a TT that large and heavy...you will feel the difference immediately.
