Re: how much can it pull?

Actually I mentioned that. Legal here is a maximum of 2xGVW with fifth wheel, goose neck or weight dist hitch. RV's are my profession and I'm in the same province as him as well. And I'll qualify that by saying manufacturers GCVW will knock that down if they list one on the vehicle tag.

It's a half ton truck to the DOT no matter how beefed up it is. Your registration will dictate how much you can pull from a legal stand-point. You get pulled over by a liscense & weight officer, they will park you, ticket you, & make you wish you'd just bought a 1-1/2 or 2 ton truck.

But no, a 1/2 ton won't do it. You'd be putting everyone around you on the road in danger.
