Car Trailer/ Tow Vehicle

Just my $.02. I spent my entire work life in trucking, and have owned pickups and trailers for almost as long. I would not do any serious towing with anything less than a 3/4 ton. My truck is a 94 2500 TCD, and it will haul a 16' flatbed with just about anything that will fit on top of it. I've pulled 26' travel trailers easily. All done with authority. Weight and length of the tow vehicle will greatly enhance your towing experience. Will a half ton work? Well, yes, sort of. But it's just not a good idea. The time to figure out I-need-more-truck is not when you find out the hard way, that my truck isn't big enough. The tail-wagging-the-dog business mentioned above is a real deal.
