Doug and Hunter are going to say "get a diesel", but you don't need either a diesel or a 3/4 ton truck to tow 5800# wet, if you get the right engine and axle in your 1/2 ton.

No I'm not....no I'm not...... I don't have a diesel............ I just think they're cool (c:

But, for a towing newbie.... I will say look into the Hensley hitch.......... http://www.hensleymfg.com

Rob, the Hensley is an expensive hitch which eliminates sway and fishtailing 100%........ lots of people never experience either with regular hitches and anti sway bars..... but.....the ones who do experience sway and fishtailing.... and lose control probably wish they had a Hensley. The bad news is they cost $2400.00 (less 10% til the end of the year) The good news is they make towing a trailer a pleasure.

Those of us who do have them love them.........

I don't want to relive the whole Hensley debate.... go to the website and read about them...even order the free video tape and make up your own mind....They aren't a necessity.... many more people don't have them than do.....but *I* wouldn't want to tow without one.

Hunter, running and ducking
