I have experience with both the ½ T and ¾ T towing the same TT, 27 foot 7000#. The ½ T was more of soccer mom vehicle and we hated passing big rigs as it would cause us to sway all over the road, the standard engine, 3.73 RE and didn’t have enough power, on the highway or in the hills. The combination of light weight frame, wrong tires and close to the weights caused us to upgrade to a ¾ T GMC Yukon XL. We special ordered with 3.73, 6.0L 4WD with all the trailering extras, including extendable mirrors. We always used the WD hitch, sway bar and carefully loaded appropriately each trip with both vehicles each time. There is a world of difference between the ½ T and the ¾ T. I enjoyed the driving experience much more with the heavy duty ¾ T rig. I have since sold the TT, kept the Sub and have MH pulling 4-door Jeep. Will be selling the Sub this Spring as we have driven less than 100 miles in the last year.
