As for off roading, three weeks ago I had to travel 12 miles on nasty road. All up hill, rocky, ruts, deep wash board. I was hauling my full load .I was able to make 3-5,miles per hour in 2nd gear 4WD. Summer I haul a few loads of 3x3 bales , about 6 ton a load.At times more gravel for my lane .I sold my 22 ft triaxle flatbed this summer, but still have a 14 ftdump.
I have rented 1/2 trucks, but have not seen many 3/4 T rentals here locally. I don't need a 1 T, but a 1/2 ton won't do for my every day chores.I have not owned a 1/2 T since about 1969.
