Car Haul Trailer, Steel vs Aluminum, Which Would You Choose?

once I was between having a 1 ton. the wife ( X wife) would not let me use, without a HUGE fight, the 95 3500 to pull my car trailer. I found a great 88 1/2 ton slant. yes I could pull my trailer with a B body on it , down the rolling hills of MO, no problem, ONCE I got it rolling with 4 sp od. !!!???? ha ... was that truck adequate? NOoooo. am I just stupid or brave!???? ha wasn't long before I found a 91 2500 360 truck, SOooooo much better!
I never have had a tilt trailer but I guess it would be trick. I would simply get an 18 ft open trailer, inc DOVE TAIL, and a good electric wench, I have loaded ???? many mopars over the last 30 years and all I ever had was a small hand boat type winch. only bad thing bout the lectric wench is having a charged battery.
all us guys love to argue trucks! I have seen fellow horse people buy a single rear wheel 1 ton truck, saving the cost of tires. even with that size truck pulling BIG gooseneck, they would say it was a mistake, NOT near as stable.
now a bumper bull car trailer is. of course, not the same as a 6 horse ,! but the fact if a 1/2 ton truck will pull a car trailer, , be somewhat fairly stable, BUT not near as well as a 3/4 or even 1 ton, suspension, truck brakes......( the electric trailer brakes don't always work).. the 1 ton is obvious over kill on an open trailer, but for a large bumper pull enclosed trailer....I would not consider anything less than a 3/4 t... and for me, very much prefer the diesel.
