Today, 1/2 tons are rated to tow things that a 3/4 ton would have been rated for a decade ago, and what a 1 ton was rated for a decade before that. In fact, all of the truck classes have progressed.
I've seen this also - there is someone on the forum that tows a fifth wheel with a Tundra or a F150. Picture in his signature. Maybe it can be configured to wing it, but at the expense of a nice towing experience.
Maybe someone that actually does it will chime in. I'd be curious to hear about it.
