Trying to do my due diligence on the tow vehicle selection. Looking at towing 5th wheel toy hauler... The pin weight is high on them when empty, but with two Harleys on the tail I think it'll be well within SRW territory which is what I really want. Now I need to investigate this 19.5" wheel thing you guys are talking about.
Edit: You guys mentioned 'late model' trucks being better at this than they were.. Would 08-10 be considered late enough model? Looking for one in that year range as I like the GM & Ford diesels they used at that time.
