Re: Half ton or three quarter ton?
Otto, all the towing recommendations I've ever received say to leave a 20% buffer between mfg. rating and the actual load. With that said, I think your max. weight for the SC is about 500-600#s high: hull 3,000 + engine 500 + full fuel 900 + trailer 1,000(?) + gear 500 = 5,900 lbs. ( I could be way off on the amount of gear you carry on a trip)
I think you'd be better off with the 1/2 ton, especially where it won't be used all that often for long distance towing.
