And the shuttle has a nose gear so the Tundra did not carry the weight of the nose as a truck would with a TT. The Tundra used a draw bar, towed it slowly for a couple hundred feet on level ground, and did it very slowly.

Your discussion is all over the place and in some instances you actually support following the manufacturer's recommendations in deference to the positon others thave taken about using WD all the time.
