<(--- Tows 5,000# with an S-10...

I agree with Frank though... while I preach the "right tool for the job" mentality, I also understand that sometimes, something bigger will make the situation just that little bit more comfortable.

While I'd love to have had something larger than a Dime to tow my Saturn and the 'Ute trailer, it's all I had. Trailer sway was quite an issue (with air shocks) anything over 55 MPH, sometimes less. With a fullsize pickup, that wouldn't have even been noticeable.
