I towed all last season from Michigan to Yellowstone, Mt Glacier, Moab and back without an issue. Handled great, even in really bad winds in Nebraska and South Dakota...The Ecoboost pulled up the mountains of Colorado without working hard...I have since upgraded it to a Hensley and while I haven't gone on a long run, I can say that it is night and day as far as sway on my test run.
Awesome!

1. If you get a 3/4 ton truck you will never have to worry about going to the scales and weighing in every trip.
Don't bother. Same with taking 2 vehicles.

2. If you get a 3/4 ton truck you can always get a bigger trailer if you want.
3. If you get a 3/4 ton truck I will never drive it. You don't have to worry about me taking your vehicle. ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
Those are good "justifications" if you really want "more". More trailer, more time with your daily driver vehicle ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/grin.gif "grin") But If you have other life goals, I'd spend/save that $100k for something else. You will get marginal extra satisfaction from what you have today.
Now get off the internet and enjoy Michigan weather with your family!
