re: Towing a boat with 1/2 ton truck.

I pulled a dry weight 8300 lb camper with a 3/4 ton rated 10,000 lb towing cap last yr and so we were probably 9500 loaded and it was white knuckle down the interstate. Never again

How fast were you going? Op said 1-2 times a year due to storms. No ones in a hurry. Imo that’s the main point here.

If OP wanted to tow it 2.5 hours a bunch of weekends a year I’d agree. But going 55 on the interestate during off peak times just to keep it safe from a once a year storm, imo a 1/2 ton is more than fine.
