Most Towing Per Maintenance Dollar
Towing capacity ÷ 5-year maintenance cost. Pounds of trailer per dollar of upkeep.
For shoppers who actually tow. We divide max towing capacity by 5-year ownership cost to get pounds-of-trailer per dollar. Half-ton naturally-aspirated trucks with proven reliability dominate; turbo-diesels lose on the cost side what they gain on towing.
