You meant 5k. Even towing a 5000lb car the difference and safety between 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton is night and day.
Half tons have plenty of horsepower it’s the rear spring pack, brake size, frame strength, and transmission cooling that they all lack.

Give me the International and Cat lineup. More attractive designs. Stuck it out longer without SCR engines.

If you are talking about a new truck, they don’t really make extended cabs anymore

Decent incentives right now. I was looking at a Chevy LT Trail Boss for $50k yesterday. Not a bad price post inflation.

Car manufacturers should get sued for advertising a 9000 pound towing capacity on a 1/2 ton truck
