So, my main observation is that we race vintage cars, but no one uses a vintage tow vehicle... Come on, 'fess up -- someone out there is using a '47 Dodge Power Wagon or similar just for effect....

I have a 4x4 because the truck serves other purposes requiring it. 4X4 is no asset in towing a trailer to the best of my knowledge. Richard
