What can a 5,000 pound pickup truck do that a 3,000 pound pickup truck not do?
The other day while at work we were talking about how the car we use to go bid jobs has a more powerful engine in it then the half ton dodge truck we use to go to job sites, trucks would do well with small turbo charged engines and and over all design down size of the vehicle, pickup trucks are so tall they are almost useless! and if you look under them it's not because they need the space, alot of it is just empty space so that they look jacked up and bigger.
I'm not sure what the towing capacity is, but if they can tow 6,000 pounds, I'd be temped to get a Ford Transit Connect as the next work vehicle.
