Today’s 1/2 tons are better than ever and you should be fine. I personally did not like towing our 28RL (33.5’ overall length). The main issue was cross winds and big rigs passing me on the highway. The 1/2 ton (Tundra CrewMax w/ tow package) just got pushed around, rather than the Truck controlling the trailer. I also didn’t like the lack of torque in a gas engine when towing grades. Just my thoughts...
BTDT. Out West, Crosswinds were terrible.
I managed. Windy days on The Great Divide were interesting to scary...
Otherwise towing experience makes the difference.
Set up your trailer correctly and watch your driving, and you can do it with a 1/2 ton.
People who aren't set up correctly are a menace to themselves and everyone on the road.
High Mountains really call for more torque than some 1/2 tonners have.
