Enough Truck

I definitely think you should go 3/4 ton. Your weight is starting to get pretty high, and you may want to get a larger trailer in the future. The 3/4 will handle the load better and longer. Just staying a few miles from home pulling on an occassional weekend?, then the 1/2 ton will probably be ok. Want to go for a long trip?, the 3/4 will be safer and more comfortable. I traded my F250 with the triton for a f250 7.3 towing a similar load to yours. Night and day difference in capability. Sure, the ecoboost or equivalent is probably a fine truck, but I can't help but think a load like this is working them hard. My current 3/4 6.7 Cummins pulls a 35' @ 9500# and LIKES IT. Yes 1/2 ton will up and down mountains for a while, but I found mine had a hard time getting out of its own way. Ever been in a city and maybe find a short entrance ramp?, have to make a quick lane change?, start from a dead stop on a hill? That extra low end torque has gotten me out of a few jams. Just sayin'. IMHO.
