Serious question: Why does almost every "1/2 ton question" thread have to turn into "just get a 3/4 ton" bullying session? Not everyone needs or wants one. But yet week after week threads get ruined because of the repeated bashing from a 3/4 owner/fan. OP is asking about a specific truck. Just like if it was a specific style of camper. Unless the OP is attempting something that is going to obviously put him/her in danger, why the constant attempt to "upsell" to what you think they should have?
I am not a 3/4 ton proponent at all. I tow with a 1 ton dually crewcab diesel..
But as for the whys.... Just crawl underneath the trucks and see for yourself.
And still..... This is a towing forum.... Major interest is in how well trucks perform that task.... Lots of other forums to discuss grocery getter tasks...
I tow a LOT. There have been a few times I have been really glad I have more truck than many seem to think I need....
The thing is, it is like seatbelts.... You only need them for an instant... In that instant, you either have the capability, or you don't.
Again, OP is not asking WHAT he should buy. He's asking a specific question about a specific truck and he ends up being lectured about why he should get something he's obviously not interested in. Nice snarky reply BTW. I didn't realize threads about 1/2 ton "grocery getters" had to be ok'd by you.
