[QUOTE="Cole1, post: 1341186, member: 17872"] I live about 5 min from my work so yeah its a pretty short commute. I plan on having a trailer with trailer brakes to help with stoping. Ive been thinking about the emergency stops and the braking of a 1/2 ton but personally have no experiance with one besides the couple times I towed a little pop up trailer with my dads f150. Ive towed my truck with my buddys 01' power stoke and it felt like there was no trailer at all behind the truck which I really liked and of course the stopping power was nice. My main thing about looking into a 1/2 ton is the cost of one compard to a diesel. Ive always had the older trucks(85' 3/4 chev and an 86' K5) and im getting tired of having to worry about them on longer drives and having to work on them which is the reason I want to get a newer truck. Ideally it would be nice if the GF's dad wanted to sell his 00' power stroke next year since he has been looking into a newer one but ill have to wait and see what happens there. [/QUOTE]
