I am always amused by people judging other people without knowing why they make certain choices all because they feel their way is the only way, and best way. Makes it difficult for forum members to get honest help or advice when they have to weed through all the BS commentary opinions from Statler and Waldorf.
So what color truck do you have? Hope its not different than mine.
My point is if it is determined that red trucks deliver the premier towing performance. Someone will buy a trailer that requires a red truck.
But then they will buy a yellow truck and want to tow with a yellow truck. They will try to make it perform just as well as red vs. just getting a red truck.
At the end of the day, it's the physics not the aesthetics that dictate that the yellow truck will never perform as well as the red.
I'm all for freedom of choice but make good decisions. Don't choose a combo the requires a slider and then choose not to get a sliding hitch. Pretending that you can avoid contact if your careful.
Don't choose a trailer that requires a 3/4 ton and buy a 1/2 ton pretending you'll be OK if you travel with a light load.
These questionably matched combos appear all the time.
Porsche "There is no substitute" was the sports car makers slogan. There is also no substitute for a properly/correctly matched combo.
If you need the slider get the slider, if you need the dually get the dually again We try to make it subjective and opinionated a create lot of discussion related to what if a I do this or that when it's not that complicated to get the right truck, hitch or trailer right out the gate.
