Re: [A/S] Trailer tire speed rating
Hi Patti,
My son just bought a GMC Tahoe, what ever with all the bells and whistles.
Says it will tow anything, according to the manufacturer press. However,
I'm not convinced! I could tow my '69 Safari at any speed I wanted with my
Chev conversion van. That's not to say that it was safe! Only the first
emergency manuver will convince you that you never have enough tow vehicle.
I'm already convinced! I'm now about to tow my '69 Safari with a Ford F250
Power Stroke Diesel Super duty and I finally think I can handle what ever
the road throws at me. The Hensley and the appropriate electric brake will
keep me out of trouble! BUT, only with some experience and the advice of
other experienced RVers on the list.
Here's hoping that you keep in mind the limitations of your tow vehicle.
Keep the speed down, protect yourself, and forget what the rest of the
traffic is doing. :) Check out the Hensley video and then tell yourself
that you can handle any situation!
'69 Safari, Joy
