Opinion on half ton trucks
Im at the point im looking at a new TV. I have done extensive research, poured through both biased and un-biased forums. Watched tons of YouTube videos on MPGs, tow tests, and known mechanical issue...

For the doubters out there, try these three things with both 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton versions. Jump on the rear bumper of both models and try to rock it from side to side. Crawl underneath and look at things like frames, brakes, etc. Borrow/rent both series pickups. You will soon be driving a 3/4 ton or heavier pickup when towing more than a few thousand pounds.
No, no you won't. Not if you look at the F150 HDPP version. Come look at mine, and tow with it. It's simply amazing for a 1/2 ton truck.

I agree with you Mike. Not just on your truck, but on most 150/1500s. Sure they have their limitations, but to think the can't tow anything over "a few thousand pounds" is inaccurate. The new trucks have come a long way in the last several years. These types of statements just feed into the stereotype that you need overkill for everything on this forum.
