Well broncebill be prepared for a very wide variety of responses.
All 1/2 tons are not created equal. Might want to provide more info on the 1/2 ton you are asking about.

I agree, more info needed. There are some 1/2 ton trucks capable of towing certain FWs. There certainly are folks towing well over trucks capability.
Like mentioned, you will get all sorts of replies. OP should also post what FW he is considering.

This is so true, some 150/1500 are truly nothing more than grocery getters! While others will have payloads that you see in 3/4 tons.
Most come with P rated tires and very soft springs for that car like ride. If you chose the correct truck and payload a 5er is possible, but you should not push the limits. If what you want in a 5er is beyond the capacities of a 150/1500 then look to a 250/2500 or even a 350/3500, yes the ride empty might be a bit rougher, but the experience towing will be much more relaxing.
