[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 224869, member: 380"] Spongy is the correct word here. I used to pull a fifth wheel and my boat with a 1/2 ton. And like you said it was white knuckle. Took a lesser used backroad once and the road was kind of worn where vehicle tires track. With the wind the trailer and boat wanted to wander around a bit. At one point my boat whipped almost sideways. And with the softness of the 1/2 vs a 3/4 ton, you couldn't keep things nice and straight like they should be. After that trip I went to a 3/4 ton and the difference was significantly noticeable. No more white knuckles and a much more pleasurable ride. The spongy 1/2 ton would sway back and forth. The 3/4 ton had none of that. I don't pull it anymore so, I did go back to a 1/2 ton. But I surely wouldn't pull a 5th wheel and a boat again with a 1/2 ton. At least not for any distance more than a few hours of driving. [/QUOTE]
