3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations

Who takes their spotting scope, and window mount with them when checking out a new vehicle?


Just to see if this is going work?

It seems a little odd that an ATV and a trailer would put you above your GVWR, but I don't know your setup. As far as a new 3/4 ton diesel, I'd rather be cummin' than strokin'

I wonder is he talking GVWR or GCWR.

Term	Full Name	What It Includes	What It Limits	Who Sets It	Example (Ford F-350 Super Duty)
GVWR	Gross Vehicle Weight Rating	Truck only: Truck + passengers + cargo + fuel + tongue weight from trailer + any aftermarket accessories	The maximum the truck itself can safely weigh	Truck manufacturer	11,500 lbs
GCWR	Gross Combined Weight Rating	Truck + trailer + everything: Truck GVW + fully loaded trailer weight + trailer passengers/cargo	The maximum the entire rig (truck + trailer) can weigh together	Truck manufacturer	35,000 lbs

This.
What does the sticker on your drivers door of your current Ford say?
Sounds like a 3/4 ton would be overkill for what you need, especially to get the diesel.

Im biased towards Ram but the new ones are full of problems being a new generation. They need to iron out the issues. Just got rid of a newer chevy for an older 4th gen ram. Chevy towed better but was expensive to fix all of its little issues. I concur that chevy needs its def kept more than half full or it has issues. Ram is better off road.

From the few fords I have driven, they were really nice, just expensive. Never towed with one. On any of the choices, you will not feel a 20' trailer with a diesel. I hardly feel my 30' trailer. Stay away from a 1500, just under powered, bed capacity and gas mileage will suffer. You could do a gas 2500 but mileage again will suffer.

The 3 liter duramax 1/2 ton gm trucks get good mileage. Max tow rating rivals older 3/4s, 12k I think. As mine broke in i got 29 mpg with a topper on it...21 to 22 pulling an 18 foot boat.
