I don't have a problem recommending a 3/4 ton to anyone but I do have a problem with all the misrepresenting and catorigizing of so called 1/2 tons....
My son has a HD 2500/6.0 and we have hauled the same loads of wood and trailers with his and my F-150/5.4.....Not a difference to be noted between the two up to 10k other than the F-150 has a better power band there for more power in the hills. Other than that, not much difference other than the paper numbers.
I bought this F-150 because it pulled my 30ft trailer much better than my older F-250 and with the same GVWR.
1/2 ton bashing gets old.
