How far is "off the beaten path"? A narrow, winding, tree lined road, would be like playing bumper cars with a 30+ foot trailer. Up and down inclines, the rear of the trailer would be dragging.
The designation "1/2 ton" is marketing hype. The tow vehicle manufacturers (GM, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, etc) all make various configurations of they're half ton, 3/4 ton, one ton, etc, tow vehicles. One vehicle doesn't necessarrly have the same capabilities as the next one. Same goes for 3/4 and one ton trucks. If the RV can be towed by any one 1/2 ton, the marketing folks will say it is half ton towable, even though, there could be a lot of 1/2 tons, that are nowhere near that capability.
Each tow vehicle / trailer combination, should be individually matched, while considering "ALL" of the users payload requirements. Everything (including cargo, aftermarket accessories, pets, WD hitch and trailer tongue weight) and everybody, in or on the tow vehicle, eats up payload and tow capacity, pound for pound.

1. I suspect the Arctic Fox is considered a "better" TT; that is higher quality. My questions is, is it worth the price premium? There is an AF floor plan we like, too, that is very similar. At this size, I'm not sure how far off the beaten path we'll go, but we will not be exclusively using RV parks.
