If the limits are within the manufactures specifications what's the issue? Is it a "my stick is bigger than your stick," argument? I understand safety, that's why manufactures set limits which I'm within. I'm not opposed to upgrading to a bigger truck but the argument of sending out a boy to do a mans job doesn't make much sense if the "boy" is capable according to the manufacture. I appreciate your feedback but if its bei g towed within the limits I don't see much a valid argument to upgrade at this point...
WELL PUT! This argument about half tons not being able to pull anything bigger than a lawn trailer drives me up the wall. I pull mine just fine.
Open your driver's door and look for how much payload you have where mine says 2051:

Then look for a sticker like this one on your receiver:

You have plenty of power as many half tons do. Air bags will mask the overloaded rear axle.
If you sold a 2013 dually for a half ton, then taking more depreciation re-upgrading might be acceptable to you if you go forward with this RV purchase and feel uncomfortable.
