Re: 4x4 question from a non 4x4 guy...
Keep in mind if you do not want to beat on it, a 1/2 ton is OK.... but you will break driveline parts if you start wheeling it hard with big tires. If you want a mall cruiser, then by all means a 1/2 ton will be fine, plus it will be lighter, get better mileage etc.
If you want to pull a trailer, you will definitely like the bigger 3/4 & 1 ton brakes.
As for comparing a 3/4 & 1 ton, do not pass up a nice 3/4... you can buy a nice D60 for about $1K or less & the rears are the same.
Watch for the light duty 3/4 tons, which have a non-floating rear axle, that is less desirable.
As stated above, the military vehicles are nice as they already have the D60, posi & also 4.56's. Great gear for 35" & larger tires.
All depends what you want.
