"Will my new truck tow it?"....YES, it will.

Hoping to not start a brand war here, but the stated tow capacity should ease anyone who has a towable.
How does 300,000# sound?

clicky

Yeah, yeah, I know. Lets wait and see when the actual specs come out.



Thanks for the edit, mod! I cant do live links for some reason.

    Like somebody slipped a decimal place, possibly two.

    Interesting that their transport truck would only be rated to haul about a third of what their pickup would.

    There is a company (Wil-Ro or Will-Ro) that used to make a line of Tow Vehicles called Trail Haulers..... Folks who have them NEVER ask "Can my rig tow this" because they already know.

    What is a Trail Hauler
    Peter built makes tractors in basically 2 sizes.. BIG for OVer the road long haul drivers and Small for local delivery drivers who go home to mamma (or pappa) at night and sleep in their own bed.

    Equip the latter with an Electric brake controller and a RV size 5th wheel.
    That's a Trail hauler.
