I currently have a 10,000 boat, trailer, gear and it can get a little squirrely. Forget the bags and gears....step up when you can do it right or find a marina w/ on-site storage.

[QUOTE=RollWithIt] Currently I am bouncing between a 3/4 ton Ram with the V10 and a 1 ton F350 with the Diesel. Both will tow in the 12k lbs range.

I just bought an F350. Tow rating is 17,000 ponnds.

I have hauled 12,000 lbs for local trips and it's ok, but 70 on the interstate is it unless you stay in the passing gear. Not sure about a 1/2 ton, but it's probably only a little less. (Huge difference in how much tongue weight it will carry!)
