I agree. To use my "grandpappy's" logic: I'd never hook a Shetland pony to a 2 mule log. Nor would I hook 2 mules to a 6' Christmas tree. Both the Shetland pony and the mules would think I'm crazy. Better yet, I'd be wasting feed trying to manage livestock that way.
Same with trucks. Hooking a 26' , 6200 lb 5th wheel to a one ton dually rated at 24,800 lb GCWR is like using 2 mules to tow that Christmas tree. Why feed the beast when you can manage perfectly well with a Shetland?
