I pull RV for a living, a 1/2 ton truck is to light you need a 3/4 ton minimum. With a gas motor you will find that there are overheat problems. I just traded my 05 1 ton with 1.5 million on it for a new 2012. I know there are some on here say that a 1/2 ton is OK, but I see many of them sitting on the side of the road.


Really?

Just to complete this thought...

I loaded the whole family and cab of the truck down for a road trip this weekend, without any trailer of course since we don't own one.

Gassed her up fully and went to the CAT scales. Weighed in at 6100 lbs.
