: to Fat Boy's excellent definitions that all to many don't pay attention to the other components of what makes or breaks towing.
: Tranny cooler, engine oil cooler, radiator capacity, engine capacity, tire capacity, axle capacity, axle ratio (and tire diameter), OverDrive or not, load distributing hitch or not, class I/II/II/IV/V mount, BRAKES and the mentality it takes to drive safely with all of this weight behind the Sub. Even the tires & braking materials, electric or surge brakes on the trailer are very important.
: These have been discussed individually here in the past. Maybe we should all chime in...oh, maybe not, too many differring opinions... :)
