Half-ton vs 3/4 Ton

1/2 ton trucks are really consumer grade and aren't designed to take the abuse of a truck 3/4 ton work truck. Your lucky that your white knuckle experienced didn't turn into a crash as you were upside down. The tail wagging the dog. A 3/4 ton will pull the weight and is also heavier so it will offset the trailer weight and help with handling. In addition the truck will last longer and everything is beefier again ore designed as a full time work truck. How many half tons do you see as work trucks when on the road? that should tell you something. Today the 3/4 tons all have nice consumer features but on the heavier chassis. Growing up towing my father went through all kinds of break downs towing with sedans then wagons. So I knew towing with light duty vehicles just wasn't an option as I wanted to enjoy myself not fret. First TV was a 3/4 4x4 suburban and now we upgrade to f250 quad cab short bed 4x4. We towing a heavy SunnyBrook with an aluminum frame and slide. Handles like a dream. BTW the f250 is the xyl's everyday ride!You wont be disappointed.
