Is this a can of worms?
Okay, A friend with 3/4 ton Dodge noted my 1500 (half ton) has too little tow capacity. True, there is a difference, I don't argue that at all. But look at this... in 2000, I had a 2500HD Chevy wit...

in 2000, I had a 2500HD Chevy with a 10k tow rating (WD hitch)
in 2005, I had an F150 with 9500k tow rating (WD)
today, I have a 1500 GMC with a 9700k tow rating (WD)
Well sorry to say I would rather tow that 9,700# trailer with my 2001 Ram 2500 than a new 1500, running gear is still far more stout under a 12 year old 2500 than a new 1500. I will say the 1500 has improved brakes, but the Ram was still rated at 8,800 GVWR.
