I get the half ton quips. However, they do very successfully pull 5k to 8k trailers. I am also not planning on traveling every weekend. Ive mentioned before, the plan is to hop around the country *monthly*, while working full work weeks. Real world hopping would be in the neighborhood of 3 to 9 hours of interstate driving, and maybe rarely two days in a row to get to a further distance.
I do appreciate all this input though. Helps me learn capabilities. Shane, that was a great link. Thank you. It sure does look goofy but what a brilliant idea. It is something to consider.
[USER=304]@jeepinmatt[/USER] i hear ya on that. I have already upgraded to oversized discs, and put ceramic pads on all four corners. I will be installing the full air bags after having looked into it. Im also looking into all the other things that can be done piror to, to increase favorable conditions.
Guys. If I could I would go get a 1 ton tomorrow. The 1500 is what I am stuck with right now, and therefore it is what is being planned around. Im not trying to tow unrealistic weights. Trying to be smart about it. Another truck is not an option right now, so just looking to make the best choices.
