Thanks for the input so far. Does it matter that the towing distance will be short...and very infrequent, once or twice a year? And on flat ground?
Unless your talking about movement around the storage facility, from a capability and legality standpoint nope.
If you your talking about extensive travel I imagine most of us would be telling you to get a 3/4 ton for that. Since you are talking about relatively small usage and we are assuming you are willing to put up with relatively poor performance for that period of time. In other words your vehicle is about as lite as you can go now, just to drive around the block.
