I hope not, it was in park and I used the winch. But it is a Dana 44. I could break one in park.

So how horrible would a 1/2 ton be to tow with? just curious... I would only be towing MY jeep on a trailer with trailer brakes and to-from trails. I would like to get a tow rig without getting a loan, may have to settle with either a nicer 1/2 ton, or a high mileage 3/4 ton....

any thoughts? only options are Chevy or Dodge and a 4 door or double cab.

I pulled mine a couple times to moab with my brothers half ton dodge hemi a
And it did awesome. That's one of the reasons I got my truck. I did get the 3/4 ton because the price was right. It rides like a tank though compared to the half tons.

Right on. I think I'll end up going with a 1/2 ton and throw some bags on it and just go easy with it. what motor did it have? I will end up DD'ing the truck I get and 1/2ton sounds better for day to day... I just don't want to regret not having a 3/4ton. All the dodges I am looking at have the 5.9L V8.

LOL, yeah. and the wife will love me for not getting a loan, which makes a house and more babys happen faster/easier

Well, ideally I would get a Diesel, But Ideally it would be a 2011-2012 dodge like AX10toy's... (love that thing) but with my current cards gas is the only logical option for a DD and towing without breaking the bank on purchase, I have the wife talked into about 10-12K, but could flip cash up to about 6-7K... so I am thinking the 5-6 range would be ideal, As not adding more to my monthly bills is a huge upside lol

Dodge are way good tow rig no doubt but IMO Chevy is the way on ride dodge is like a tank IMO Chevy = caddy :-) and being a DD comfort would be king to me
