[VAC] Re: tow vehicles



Kimberly,
 The others gave you good advice, go with a full-sized 1/2-ton truck or
even a 3/4-ton outfit if you can find one. Add a good transmission
cooler if you get a 1/2-ton, the 3/4-ton should have one already.

You definitely will want a weight-distributing hitch unless your trailer
is very light and you have a 3/4-ton truck. You'll probably be better
off with that hitch even then, as it makes the entire rig act as a unit
and all the suspension components are working as a team.

"More" is always "Better" when it comes to tow vehicles. I'd also think
about a trailer in the 25' range.
