Why all the hate on 1/2 ton tvs
Like the title says I have read many posts that basically suggest that towing a 30ish foot Tt with a 1/2 ton truck is wrong and your going to Indanger your family and anyone around you on the road tha...

seesh, my post sure generated lots of comments, most negative (that's ok doesn't bother me). If you read it closer I said "I DON'T THINK" its a good idea to tow a TT heavier than the TV." So just my opinion, observation, and experience towing many TT's with a 1/2 ton since 1988. And, I'm not criticizing anyone using a 3/4 ton and up that are made to tow heavier TT's than the TV. Used a 3/4 ton Suburban myownself to tow really heavy 2-slide out Arctic Foxes. Just won't do it with a 1/2 ton.
I jumped on this thread cause it just seems that every thread I read where the poster wants some advice regarding towing with a 1/2, they always seem to want to tow big long TT's that might exceed tow ratings. So I make my comment/observation based on my experience, take it or leave it.
As for one comment that their 30' weighs less than a 24', had that myself, had a 30' Trail Lite that weighed a lot less than a 24 foot Komfort with a slide out.
Here's another controversial comment, I think longer TT's are more sway stable than short ones, again, based on experience.
