re: Towing a boat with 1/2 ton truck.

What type of brakes does your trailer have installed? Surge, or electric over hydraulic? EOH provides excellent stopping power and control.
What axle ratio do you have?
I wouldn't sweat towing to Pensacola with a half ton truck with your current load, especially with air bags and a 6.2L V8. It's mostly flat without the need for hill descent control. Tow at or under 70 mph. You should also be towing your boat without fuel to save the extra weight. Gas mileage will suck, but that's about it.
