I think we're arguing just for the sake of it now but...
The brakes are that different, but if you have your trailer setup correct that should help the 1/2 ton too.
I definitely don't haul on a daily basis. More like bi-monthly at best 9 months out of the year. The point is even before I was moving mulch, tractors, granite and concrete, etc the Jeep alone was a large strain on a 1/2 ton.
Look at it this way, if you are capable of bench pressing say 200lbs, 12 times in a row and Carl is able to do 50lbs the same 12 times; who is going to get more tired lifting 40lbs over and over? Same for trucks with the brakes, trans and suspension. I saw it happen on my 1/2 ton with 50k miles.
I agree. If I could DD anything it wouldn't be a 3/4 ton truck but I also don't have the money to be throwing around at what I would want to drive. Maybe when I am 40 yrs old.
Ok so it changes my point. I lose.
I did to suit the situation.
Please show me a 3/4 ton gas that gets 20mpg. I'll dance naked for you. No way.
Have you driven a new 1/2 ton with that "sway control"? It isn't all it is cracked up to be. Both my father's Chevy and a good friend's ecoboost F150 have it. I've driven both with maybe 4-5k behind it and there for sure is more sway changing lanes on the interstate than in my 3/4 ton without sway control. It helps, but nothing will ever replace the right tool for the job. Kinda like using a #1 Phillips driver when you really need a #2.
Again, you guys arguing against it are no different than the anti people that want to ban whatever but do not have any first hand experience between a bullet and ammunition or a person with the mental capacity not to drink three big gulps in a day vs something that doesn't have it. Just saying in good fun. Don't get pissy.
:laugh:
Apparently you need a Corolla
