The Dreaded 1/2 Ton Towing Question
Ok, not really but kind of. I currently have a 2012 GMC Sierra Crew Cab 1500. The truck is paid off and a 3/4 ton is not in the cards for me at least for the time being. I currently pull a 1999 25...

I thought, I should grab my camera and walk about and take pictures of all the F150's, Tundras, Chev and Ram 1500's that have pulled all manner of trailers here from places that are really far away.
When you say, "all manner", are you including fifth wheel trailers, or just popups and bumper pulls? The Winter Texans in the South Texas parks are mostly using 2500 and larger tow vehicles for fifth wheel and travel trailers. I use a F-150 to pull a small travel trailer. Certainly not a weight policeman. Just a guy who likes to use a adequate or more than adequate tool for the job. Just like most of the people in the parks.
Since this thread is about bumper pull style travel trailers, that is what I am focusing on.
However, speaking of fifth wheels on 1/2 tons, I have seen two here at the resort this winter. A couple was here for a month with a late model 1794 Tundra and a Open Range fifth wheel, and I have seen one guy with a F150 and a fifth wheel.
Being a snowbird park in winter, I have not seen any pop-ups here at all, no surprise there.
My original comment in the above post was referring to 1/2 ton trucks pulling many different sizes of travel trailers. That is the subject of this thread.
My travel trailer is small ( 19 ' ) and is typically one of the smallest TT's in any given park. Most folks who have travel trailers buy much larger than this. No doubt why Funfinder ( my brand ) got out of the short TT business.
