A 1/2t truck is most definitely a capable towing rig when working within it's capacity and using the proper equipment when needed like sway and/or torsion bars. No different than the way one should not work beyond the capacity of a 3/4 or 1t truck. All can be overloaded with the same bad results.
The 1/2t trucks of today have towing capacities equal to or greater than the 3/4t trucks of yesteryear.
BKM wants to make a good truck better. I fail to see what is so hard to understand about that.
