Quick dumb question that I SHOULD know the answer to, but dont: What is the rear end rating for a 60? 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton...
I don't know...

How are you defining these ratings?
The GAWR is more than a ton, but that does not make it a 1-ton truck.

I'm just trying to figure out what you can and can NOT tow with these things, I guess.
When I get my truck running here soon, I'd like to make a trip to Mexico with a duel axle flat bed to bring back 1600 ft2 of tile and mortar... it will be a heavy load. Just wonder if the 60 will handle it well. I know some who did this a couple of summers ago pulling a single axle flat bed with a Bronco II... He had to drive back doing 35 mph for 70 miles because the load was too heavy, causing the trailer to fish tail.

Towing ability is more about brakes, power, suspension... The trailer fishtailing has nothing to do with rearend size.
