I can tell you that with a carrier and 2000lbs of spare parts on a dual axle car hauler behind a 1/2 ton pickup, going through the mountains from Williams Lake to Hope at 80km has a pucker factor of about 8 out of 10. If it wasn't for trailer brakes... I have a three quarter ton pickup now...you need that extra weight and towing capacity. I'm sure I doubled the manufacturer's recommended towing load for the 1/2 ton.
