Yea, doesn't everyone know nothing less than a 350 dully is safe to tow anything. :R
Towing over 6000 lbs is a matter of.....
1/2 ton = good
3/4 ton = better
1 ton dually = best
Tow the same trailer with a 1 ton dually and get back to us.
F450 even better,
F650 even better
A 10 wheeled 35000lb over the road Freightliner would be even better. but NOT needed.
If folks are scared to tow a little over 6000lb with a F150. I would suggest a Freightliner. No sway, good braking, won't be pushed around by the TT. You won't even know it is there. Try it, and get back to us
1/2 ton, 3/4 ton and 1 ton are the normal trucks you see on the road. Your reply is trollish.
I beg to differ..the reply is NOT Trollish. It simply points out your very faulty logic.
Better is not necessarily the same as Bigger. There are many other considerations.
Towing with a semi isn't a totally trollish statement?
GFY
You seem to be pretty new at this. Many, Many people tow with "simis" But that is not really the point. Point is. Where do you stop? I towed a pup /popup with a Jeep CJ5. would a F350 have towed it better? Why of course. But why would I want to tow a 2000lb pup with a F350?
Point really is. size the TV to the TT. A F350, or F250, is NOT needed to tow a 6000lb, 31' TT. That is considerable, and un necessary overkill. Would they do it better? Of course, but so would a Kenworth
