I been figurin out that the horse has to come before the cart, and the cart comes before the load. Good tow rig is important. Keep lotsa tools in it. ==hmmm

Use my 1994 Chevy 4by half ton all the time w bout 250,000 on the motor, does just fine should have the new motor in next week then maybe wont lose so much speed going up hill, LOL.  But over all it does fine, like everyone is saying though, be weight smart bout it.

I had an old stepside dodge power wagon with a 440 in it, it was a 1/2 ton and I towed a big trailer with a bobcat on it, bobcat weighs about 6k and the trailer was easy 1500lbs not to mention all the crap that was in my bed and other things on the trailer so add another 1000lbs.

This was when they built trucks to work though...now they build trucks to get better gas mileage and ride like a car ==roll

yah you ever try seeing a trailer out of a 09 style silverado? just about gotta get out and look... trucks are definitely not designed to be used anymore.
