I totally disagree. A year ago, I spec'ed out a GMC 1500 4wd to pull a brand new 18' 7000# LoadTrail car hauler style trailer to carry my 4500lb Oliver 660 pulling tractor. The trailer is long enough to make the proper tongue weight. The combo is completely legal, and as safe as any other legal load on the road. I am not about to feed a 6 liter gasser, and a Diesel is a poor choice for the short run I have to work and back. The 1500 has 16" rubber and bigger brakes than any 10 year old half ton truck and the 5.3 engine has more than enough power to pull the load with a 3.73 rear. No reason it can't work for someone else. A 3/4 ton would have some advantages, it would be foolish not to agree. BUt the half ton should do well if it is spec'ed out right.
