I agree as stated above. most salesman will tell you "oh yes this truck will tow a mountain". It all depends on what you need and or want. I personally would not go with a 1/2 ton unless you buy a small TT. a 30 ft, some manufacturers say their TT's are 1/2 towable. I had one of those and did tow with a 1/2 ton. I bought a 3/4 ton and it is night and day difference. I have a 35 ft now and the 3/4 ton does a good job with it. my way of thinking is, if you buy a 1/2 ton now and later you go even bigger or heavier, then you have to buy a 3/4 , so why not buy once and get the 3/4 now.
