| Need new tow vehicle
I have been towing my 07 International with an 07 silverado 1/2ton. Tow rating on it was 6800 lbs with the 342 rear. Never seemed to have any problems. It towed well, and rode very smooth. This past Saturday I was involved in an accident and the truck is totaled. (I seem to be fine)
So now, I will be buying another truck probably this week, and I am aware that most people here, would say that a 1/2 ton is marginal, and a 3/4 ton would be much more suitable for towing.
My questions are; will a 3/4 ton be smooth riding for everyday use? What about getting a 1/2 ton silverado with the 6.0 liter engine that tows up to 10,400? What about the new Ford F 150 that claims to tow up to a similar amount? I never had a diesel before, and once again, I want something that I can drive everyday that is comfortable and smooth.
One final note. My decision will be based on the information that I receive from this forum rather than any dealer.
Thank you in advance.
Barry
