Man this is REALLY unbiased?.....this is funny.....

Anyway, here is the deal....I tear apart and upfit the FORDS, CHEVYS and DODGES for a living, everything from 1/2 tons up, I see them everyday and drive them too, with and without trailers....pick your brand but the facts are that a 1/2 ton will always be a towing/daily driver compromise if you are towing a race car trailer....will it do the job?, yes, but there is always something better no matter what you have.....The better compromise would be a 3/4 ton....same physical size as a 1/2 ton but a LOT better for your towing needs without a large hit for fuel mileage, plus it gives you the diesel option since no one has pulled the trigger for a diesel 1/2 ton yet....the 3/4 ton gives you bigger bearings, bigger brakes, stronger transmissions and axle assemblies.....

Want to read an unbiased towing test pick up the latest DIESEL POWER mag and read the test pitting a 2011 FORD 1 ton against a 1 ton CHEVY.....it will let you know who really believes in their product....

I personally run the 3/4 ton diesel myself which works great for me cause I can let anyone drive it (my wife has driven over 80,000 miles in it herself) and I can pull darn near anything I want with it without any concerns.....
