I've rented on and off for 30 years... originally towed with a full size station wagon and a 455 olds motor.
Later, I bought a high output 5.7 Silverado Pickup 1500 with trailer brakes, equalizing 10,000 pound hitch and it does a great job towing my 7000 lb enclosed 20' trailer.
Today, I called to reserve ditch witch walk behind trencher and was told new policy is 3/4 ton of better.... called two more yards and they have the same policy.
Ironically, I have 3/4 ton Chevrolet Van with a 12,000 pound hitch and a 305 V-8 that is low gear coming home not towing anything.
Just wondering if 3/4 ton minimum is nationwide?
