Advice on needed tow capacity for new pickup truck

And what happens in two years when the kids are older, meaning bigger, and you decide you need a larger TT? Do you then dish out the money to buy another new truck?

I would expect that if you do go with the half ton truck, you'll need some suspension help in addition to the weight distribution hitch to help level things out. You may also have to go to heavier tires on it.

Buy a 3/4 ton truck.
