It'll handle towing without any problems...and they do last (driver
dependent though).

Is it good for towing ?
I guess launching with 4500+ lbs hanging from the back of the truck is
pretty rough too. Only time I got one to slip was backing up a hill
pushing the trailer. But then again with such a low first gear on the
NV3500 it just grabs and goes. $394 for the Centerforce I $420 for
Centerforce II seems a lot for a clutch. I'm getting 100k+ miles from
each stock clutch, do these last ?
