A 3/4 pickup or Suburban worked just fine for me on short in town hauls hauls. My last SeaRay and trailer weighed in at +10,000 pounds and for a short haul launch and retrieve (boat stored near ramp) our 1/2 ton Suburban was ok. Today's 3/4 ton rigs are impressive for these types of hauls.
Regardless, getting the I/Os out of the water was important for our needs.
