Yeah, you can buy a half-ton that can safely tow six tons, but the difference is that 3/4- or 1-ton is designed to do it day in and day out, where the half-ton is only designed to do it occasionally. If all you're doing is hauling the boat to the lake on weekends or going RVing on vacation, a half-ton with a high tow rating will do the job, but that's a different proposition from using a truck to stay on the road.</p></blockquote><p></p>
