Are you kidding? He is telling you that the safest equipment in the world is still a deathtrap with an idiot behind the wheel.
I would rather take my chances against a guy that knew what he was ooing with a S-10 pulling a trailer, rather than an idiot with a proper sized truck.
I do have a crew cab dually diesel, and generally I am driving 60 mph on the interstate in a 70 mph zone. Not because my truck can't handle it, but my pocketbook can't. That 10mph is the difference between 8 mpg and 11 mpg.

Yes I did think that. After all, you called the guy who hauled a 4500 lb tractor on a 7000 lb trailer with a 1/2 ton for 30 years an A**!
I typically haul a 5000 lb tractor and a 2 bottom plow on a 16' 12,000 lb bumper pull. The catch is I am pulling it on a 15" receiver extension because I have a 4000 lb, 9 1/2' camper in the box of the truck. Any names you want to call me?

| Overly optimistic if the truck is a 1/2 ton.
