1/2 ton vs 3/4 ton towing
I am not here to start a flame war, but I was looking at tow ratings since I was looking to get a newer truck (just found one today), but I am shocked how high the 1/2 ton trucks tow rating have gone....

My new half ton is rated at 11,200 max tow.
Using the "80% Rule" so often spoken of here equals 8960 pounds.
Close enough to just call it 9000.
Good luck, you'll need it.
Actually, I have a class A.
This is just a farm work truck.
Last week I had over 1000 pounds in the bed and 8,000 behind it and it billy bopped right on down the road just fine.
I guarantee you, this fall I'll pull well north of 10,000 with it and if necessary, more.
The old true grocery getting this one replaced pulled a 35,000 pound combine 5 miles home one night. ;)
