[VAC] tow vehicles
think about the Toyota Tundra with the new V8, massive power, huge torque,
in a well behaved, thrifty engine. this is a super smooth engine. (it's like
budda) This truck should be able to tow anything on this list with aplomb. I
know I sound like a salesman, But check consumer reports, or anyone else.
consider that instead of some 10 cylinder pickup, or some stank diesel. If
I had the 30$ to get one the way I want it I would have, maybe in a few
years when used ones start showing up.
all this talk about these massive engines to tow Airstreams. What about
picture of the guy on the bike? A good power drill can put out more work
than a human. Anyway I towed my caravel 17' with my '94 Toyota pickup with
a 4 cylinder (2.2L I believe) and it was fine. Now that was just to get it
home (100+ miles) . I realize that the situation was far from ideal as the
truck is a bit undersized but it worked. I just wanted to through that out
there If you want a massive machine that has excess power, fine.
Remember, want and need are two different things.
