Mark,

I just found that other thread.

I think I'll concede but without the answers to the questions I posed, I still think it's "do-able" with a 1/2 ton if the conditions are right (mainly smaller trailer and infrequent hauling). Also need an idea of where he lives as hills may be a factor. I've towed 7000# with my 1/2 ton and it did fine but my hauling is infrequent.
