Better than the 1/2 ton crew z71 I use.
Only a mile to and from the ramp.

When spending your own money?

We love our diesel. Pulls well.

What you do with your money is your own business. I only hope you don't end up going through what Bill and I have.

Relax. Here's what I was getting at:
I have noticed on threads, including the one about my boat, that you are quite free with advice on what is the "right way to do it" and how much it would cost.

I could go pull your quotes, but I think that you and others know what I mean. I am sure that it isn't necessary.

You were quite liberal with your opinion that it would cost $30,000 to repower my boat. I refer to that as "spending other people's money." I said it about my friend Chris, too. He "spent my money" all the way home from MD.
I wasn't starting a fight with him either.

You said "anything worth doing is worth doing right."

I thought that it was ironic that when it came time to talk about towing that you would mention that you tow a 9,000 pound package with a half ton truck. Coming from the advocate of "doing things right."
Your opinion regarding the capabilities of your truck may well be better informed than the manufacturer. But if you have a problem... the legal system will probably go with GMs opinion regarding the capacity.

I didn't expect you to get upset about it. But I was in my 20s once, so I understand. Although usually 2 smilies and a drink smilie is a way to tip someone off that you are not attacking them.

Best of luck with your boat.

Brakes were operating and legal. They just didn't fit my personal comfort level. When you go with me, you always get home, on time and unscathed.

(did I spell unscathed properly?)
