Why not? For all you weight police:
Lexus GX tow ratings 6500 #
The SEVEN, count them, SEVEN, smaller Airstreams are UNDER 6500# GVWR!
The smallest is 3500#!
So, why is it so TERRIBLE to tow WITHIN ratings?
I thought you all WANTED people to be within ratings?
Good for you, that's telling it like it is... Some people get these crazy ideas that you can't pull anything unless you have same truck as they do!
My father full timed for 20+ years; he had an F150 Camper special, towed a 38' alumalite fifth wheel for 250,000 miles. He never had an accident, until the wheel fell of the trailer and hit another car. (the hub broke off at the axel)
