You are talking outliers who suggest you will be happy with 30k on a 1 ton. That is not the common response by a long shot.
On the other hand 7-9k on a 1/2 ton, is pretty commonly suggested as OK...if you spec it correctly.
Not here. It is common for the fanboys here to tout their brands 30k towing ability, and if you even insinuate that a 1 ton should not be towing that much then you get flamed. Trust me, it has happened to me on multiple threads in this forum.
Also, just look at the all the "you need a 3/4 or 1 ton" or "you need a bigger truck" responses in this thread just for an 8,500 lb trailer. Many people here only think that half tons are good as wife trucks or grocery getters without even looking at the specs and that if you are towing anything over 7k then you need an HD truck which is nonsense to me.
