I disagree Chas. I have a good friend who pulled a Bambi all over creation
with an Expedition. I would not try it with an Explorer though....
I also hope Cathy doesn't get a trailer that weighs up to the max the truck
manufacturer rates the truck to pull.
Beginners should stay at the 75% of the rating number. The manufacturers
rate their trucks for ideal conditions. Sunny weather, flat roads.... no 18
wheelers, they don't factor the worst possible scenerio into their numbers.
