Here is something to consider. Walk through those same pits that you looked at the tow vehicles from an earlier post and ask what the rated towing capacity of the ball, ball mount and hitch on their truck is. I bet you there won't be very many who can tell you without looking but they will tell you that you have to have a 3/4 ton or heavier.


I have a class IV hitch, 16000lb rated ball mount and 25000lb rated ball and I only tow a just under 7000lb 20' enclosed trailer. The new 1/2 ton trucks are not the 1/2 tons from even 15 years ago.



One question from an earlier reply. Does anyone see or hear of trucks sitting on the side of the road from losing c-clips??

Thanks Curtis!
Seems to be Truck competition going on.
GM big trucks are much lighter and Turbo Diesel options.
Fords and Ram look great and nice comfortable interiors.
Along with better suspensions almost sports car like.
