I went back and forth on this for several months. We had a 3731FL in our sights. Many said the right 3/4 ton would pull it. Ultimately, the conservative engineer in me won out and we went with the something comfortably rated to tow the rig we wanted. We are so glad we did. Not only does it pull it comfortably, the dually provided stability, when pulling in strong winds, beyond my expectations.


I trust the things I hear from insurance agents just slightly more than a salesman selling me a $60k truck or 5'er. All aren't that far off the trustworthiness of a DC politician IMHO. When push comes to shove the insurance company lawyers and/or the lawyers arguing a civil suit will be glad to point out to a court that your truck wasn't rated to pull your rig.


Spending a few extra $$$ (it's really not that much) on a truck that is rated to pull your rig isn't going to cost you near the amount that a "what if", unforeseen, accident will cost you. Be smart. Be safe.
