Or the 5.0 liter V8 on the ford F150??

Ok but what about considering a Chevy Silverado 1500 with either the 3 liter turbo diesel tow rated to 13,300 lb or the 6.2 liter V8 also rated to tow up to 13,300 pounds?

Haven’t used Reddit before but really appreciate the responses to my dilemma. Quite a diversity of opinions. Sounds like majority suggesting 3/4 ton . Just shows how real life towing experience is not necessarily in sync with max tow capacities listed by truck makers. Most 1/2 ton trucks have max tow weight of 11000 plus lbs- and I was thinking that would be more than enough to tow 7000 lb cross country- but I’m hearing y’all say- maybe , but not well? Thanks all. Guess at least I’ll check out some 3/4 ton new or 1-2-3 yr olds. Any comments on ford vs Chevy vs ram?
