I went from a small Toyota (what would be the Tacoma today) to a '97 F150 to a '97 F350. The Toy was better in all respects, including towing, than the 150 for my use. The F350 is a long box crew cab and rides nicely. Mileage stinks, but hey, it's a 1 ton truck. My gofer car is a $500.00 '05 Escape. I'm not brand loyal, those just happened to be what was available. I also ran a '95 1/2 tom Suburban in that period. We want to get another 'Burb (for when we need to fit 6 or 8 people, which is quite often) but I'm leaning heavily towards a 3/4 ton when we do. It's real easy to over load a 1/2 ton. Plus, the 3/4 has heavier drive train/suspension components and seem to last longer.
For hauling tractors or loads over the size of your common boat or travel trailer on a regular basis, I'd definitely go at least 3/4 ton. My dad hauled stone in our '70 F100 with so much in the box he had to hit the brakes to make a 90 degree turn. We did it and we didn't die, but that doesn't mean it was the best practice.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
