Towing an 18 wheeler is no comparison to towing a boat that's twice as heavy (nearly) as the truck with simple surge brakes on the trailer. Yes a 1/2 ton will tow the boat, but the bigger brakes, chassis and drivetrain of a 3/4 or 1 ton are meant to tow the larger loads. The newer 1/2 tons are much better than the previous generations yes but if you're searching for a tow rig, bigger is better ......and safer. Stopping is cool.
