The highlighted sentence says it all. So many trying to pull something they shouldn't be pulling. "It's a 2500, it can pull it!"
I'm sure the newer gas engines are adequate in most situations. My rant is mostly directed at ignorant people with too much trailer for a given truck and those that don't follow the rules of the road.
I applaud those who come here seeking information on how to do this right. But there are a few that believe they already know everything and won't listen to reason from the many experienced folks here offering solid advice.
