You can put all the upgrades you want on that half ton truck, and you’ll still only have a half ton truck.

All those bolt on items are just to help improve the ride. It does NOT add to
Your Truck’s capabilities.

The truck is rated from the manufacturer to tow “x”
Amount of weight safely.

The tires. The suspension. The transmission. The engine. The frame. The brakes.

Adding those gadgets adds weight to
Your toe vehicle, there for reduces the amount you can tow.

Your truck might be able to pull it, but can it STOP it?

Many 3/4 ton trucks are rated
Too low to pull some of the campers
Out there. Even 350/3500 series are close to not being enough.


Do your homework.
Keep your family safe.
Keep other traffic safe.
Buy an appropriate size tow vehicle.
