Not a 1/2 ton, but I tow with a 2004 Ford F350
diesel, 4dr, 4x4,long bed, 4:10 gears. Maybe
a bit overkill for what I tow, but it was a
good price when I bought it 1/2006.

18 ft open full steel bed car trailer with a
74 Duster that weights about 3400 with me in
it. Gets around 15 mpg towing that.

Also tow a 25 ft travel trailer that weights
about 7500 loaded, gets 9 to 13 depending on
how many 6 degree hills I climb on a trip.
