A few observations:
- Towing that many miles a year, puts a lot of strain on a 1/2 ton. Towing that much in CO is likely somewhat of a struggle on the motor with that much weight.
- On this site, 1/2 tons aren't even fit for groceries. Go over to the EcoBoost website and you'll see guys towing some serious weight! Some are for sure overloaded. Somewhere in the middle is probably the best route.
- Check your weights at a CAT scale (or similar), get a GOOD WD hitch, you just might be able to make it work. Good luck.
