Re: [A/S] towing with a jeep-trying again
Here's an even more dreadful story, but shows why you need a
good truck.
I took Darth Vader (97 Dodge Ram 3/4 ton long bed, stretch
cab ) to Walt's before I left FL so he could check the
brakes and all that good stuff.
He opened them up and said I hadn't had brakes for quite a
while !!!
My truck stops the trailer, even w/o brakes ! Yikes.
As an aside, I have put in many miles towing horses who
don't like to be plastered against the front by hard
braking. So I tend to drive pretty cautiously. Even with
the brakes, it still takes the trailer a while to stop.
