Why do the majority of people insist on pushing the limits of their tow vehicles and making it even more dangerous and difficult. I have always bought big trucks, knowing that I am going to have an RV, or even my 36' race trailer. There has never been an question of is that too much. If you bought a truck not knowing that you were gonna get a trailer, then that big of a trailer is too much. Start with something smaller and get used to it. See what you like, and don't like about the RV world.


Deep Breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ok Rant off!.

While this may be true, I would think most are at least thinking of towing, they need to learn to live within the capabilities of their TV!
I pull a 5th wheel, with a long WB TV, because it is far more stable than a TT, if I did pull a TT I would have the longest WB I could get for stability.
