As long as the weights are within the specs of the tow vehicle, then yes a 3/4 ton will do the job. If the weights are over the specs then you need a different truck.

When I started towing fivers in 1989, nobody even paid attention to truck/trailer weights. It's a whole different world now, and I for one wouldn't even think about being overweight. I got a good deal on my DRW, and now 9 years later I still take it to the store, just park it so I get an extra few steps of exercise.

In 2009 while towing my previous fiver (2200# king pin) in Missouri I had a blowout on the drivers side rear inner tire. I was able to safely ease off the highway and deal with the problem. I wonder what would happen with a SRW, food for thought.
