Hence why I said, paragraph one, or two? I used paragraph 1 as my why I would use a single. If going with paragraph 2, either could work or be needed for multiple reasons shapes or forms. If you have a heavy family of 6 like I do and did when 4 kids were teenagers, a typical half ton 15 series rig is max loaded with the 6 of us on board, hence it has no ability to tow a trailer per say, staying with in manufactures ratings. I need a 1 ton dually to a class 6 to tow what some do with a typical 25/35 series sw truck can do. I need 1200-1500 lbs of payload for the people! Now add in whatever for hitch weight, our two alaska malamutes at 150 lbs ea, canoe, generator etc........
No matter if you are an RV person, Boat, horse trailer, commercial, both as I have been, you need the correct total payload truck, with power, gearing in trans, axels etc to meet YOUR performance requirements in a tow rig. Not the J whatever ratings, as those may not meet your performance needs. Otherwise, as one murderator was known as on here "answerswillvery" as she was a school teacher. Their is not one correct answer overall if the options have many variables to them. So in reality, deciding which is better, one needs to make the choices, as close to equal as you can. Hence why my paragraph one vs two answers.
