Mules are slightly smaller than their horse parent, and when they grow they share traits of both a donkey (the long ears), and the horse (color, tail, etc.). A Mule in the grass.
For example, a 2014 Ford F-150 is considered a half ton truck but most variants can carry a lot more than 1,000 pounds in the bed. Since these terms are probably not going away any time soon, it's best just to think of them as smaller, mediumest, and more than medium.. (Pause for laughter).
The tow ratings on most half-ton trucks range from 6,500 to 10,000 lbs. If your trailer is less than that, you should be ok, provided you donât overload it. Add-Ons The caveat to towing a travel trailer with a half-ton truck is that youâll need to tack some add-ons to ensure safe towing.f youâre towing a fifth wheel with a half-ton truck and a smaller bed, having an adjustable (or sliding) hitch adapter is a must. Using a sliding hitch can prevent your truckâs cab from coming into contact with your RV when making tight turns. This is also why fifth wheels are rounded on the front side.
