I've towed this boat for 12 years now and never had a problem. The boat weighs 5500 and the truck was built just to tow it. Truck is fuel injected 383, turbo 400, gear vendor OD, one ton 14 bolt rear with 4:10 gears and overload bags. Truck will cruise at 2200 rpm at 60 mph. It gets around 12 mpg when towing the boat. boat trailer has disc brakes on both axles, surge on the front and electric on the back. With the large tires and big brakes on the 14 bolt this rig has no problem stopping. This said I would not tow it with a stock 1/2 ton just not enough stopping power.
