Sled deck on a half ton for me the last while is replaced by 28-35ft bumper pull holiday trailers with back end of the 1/2 ton flattened, incorrect set up weight distribution hitches way over gvw surely, happy happy griswalds.

It's the best when the person with the half ton is trying to convince you of how legit it "feels"

I'm driving a half ton right now. Sold my 3500, waiting for my new 3500 to arrive.

I can tell you, this thing does not feel legit hauling a trailer. 2019 F150 supercrew ecoboost with the max tow package. 8k office trailer makes it known it is behind you. Didn't feel it at all behind the Cummins.

You don't gotta tell me - I had a gen 1 2012 ecoboost - hyperlite 4500lb 27ft camper just about sent me into the rhubarb a few times - I got sucked in by the commercials and the motor tear down stretched across the table after the Baja 1000 - traded that POS in for my platinum f350 never go back now

I know you're lying to us, but are you also lying to yourself? 8k lbs and you didn't feel it at all? Ok superstar.

Weight wise, you could tell it was there in terms of stopping and acceleration, but not nearly as bad as behind the f150. It also didn't get pushed around like this soda can does either. That's more what I meant by not feeling it back there.

I just towed my 7500lb loaded cargo trailer from AB to BC and I forgot it was there until I started passing people on single lane. You do forget it’s there when the truck is chugging along at 1200 rpm at 115-120. My travel trailer was lighter and never really felt it back there.

Lock it out of OD on the big hills though for the trannys sake.
