Okay, I'll slap your hand. I didn't say the TV had to out weigh the trailer, just said it's better. The OP asked if a 3/4 ton truck would stop better than the 1/2 ton. My point was simply that yes a TV that weighs more than the trailer it's towing will stop it better than one that weighs less than the trailer it's towing. He asked a very basic question. And to take it a step further, yes a 1 ton dually will stop it even better and a Peterbuilt even better.
