Re: Towing travel trailers with Dak

I towed my bud's full size ram 4x4 CC with my little dak and it felt fine
even on the turnpike at 65 mph, nice and stable and it even stopped too. My
dak weighs in around 4000lbs his truck weight 5something thousand. My shelby
which I tow to the track all the time weighs around 3500 with the trailer
and you don't even notice it's there so I don't think a travel trailer would
be any different.
