I can see Steve’s point. Too often, people aren’t willing to put in the slightest bit of effort before asking a question.

When I have a question, I first try Google, then the search here. Searching can be tricky if you can’t easily describe the issue. I think that towing capabilities are tricky to figure out and I don’t mind people asking them if they at least make an effort to describe their vehicle. That’s why I think it’d help if there was a sticky on the topic.

Wandering down memory lane when I worked at Trak Auto (parts store), people would come in needing spark plugs. “What size engine?” I'd ask. “I think it’s a V8.” That happened on a weekly basis.

Here’s an article that’s great for techies, but applies here as well:
