Everything is just off the internet as of so far. Kids are pretty small, 9 and 2. We will have two vehicles. One for passengers and the other mainly just to tow. I have gotten the info off of owners manuals or from the manufacturer.
If it's just internet specs, move up to a dually. They don't cost much more and can easily handle a 16k GVWR 5er. A 1 ton SRW might be in spec but it's going to be maxed out.
If you already have the 3/4 ton (and don't want to trade it in for a bigger truck), start looking at 10-12k GVWR 5ers and if you creep up into the higher end, plan to spend some time playing with cargo distribution and possibly limiting cargo to keep it below the 12k limit to keep the truck in spec.
