With 320 gallons of gas and a Myco trailer..I weigh in at about 18k...That Jap truck tows better than my diesel truck..and I get better mileage too..If it wasn't for Chris Sunkin who advised me to sell the Ford 4x4 diesel for the Nissan gas 2x4 I would still be stuck at the ramp...Thanks Chris..

If you are looking at 1/2-3/4 ton and 2 wheel drive an SUV is the best way to go. Pickups just don't have enough weight on the arse end to get traction. I had a 4X4 99 ford desiel duelly crewcab awhile back and had many times with my little 22 Pachanga I had to use 4 wheel drive! That truck would spin the tires in 2 wheel drive on level ground in the grass if there was dew on the ground! A single wheel short wheel base will get the best traction in a pickup...problem is ya need the long wheelbase for stability on the road.
I haven't had a traction issue with my 2 wheel drive suburban yet...fingers-crossed! Just drug a 288 sunsation from Fl on a triple axle trailer and handled it like a dream. No problems at all with the Powerquest I traded at the ramps. The sunny is only 300 pounds heavier so I don't think I'll have any trouble!

It's not a very good pic..but at least you can see the wing that generates the downforce that keeps the rear end from swaying at speeds above 80 when I tow. You can see Chris in the background if you look real hard giving me the thumbs up!!!!!!
