Thanks again folks. I can understand how shear stress on the tow system by way of Tongue Weight can affect the Towing Capacity and stress on the system but when towing either 4 down or on a Dolly
it becomes a mystery why a straight pull (tension only) can affect anything on the tow vehicle frame wise other than making the Engine and running gear work a little harder.
Or am I missing something? Like I mean are there stresses I am unaware of that make the weld at the extension the weakest link in the chain so to speak?
