Half-Ton Trailer Camping at Yosemite
Hi, y'all! I'm kind of going nuts trying to plan our trip to Yosemite. We are pulling a Sonic VRK231 which is a pretty light trailer overall but we only have an F-150. We're trying to decide on a ...

No need to stress out your trip and piss off the line of vehicles behind you as you white knuckle it up and down those roads, not seeing the sites because you’re hyper focused on not dying.
Not all highways are ADA (Asian or Apprehensive Driver Approved) lol.
Sounds like these roads fit the category for you.
Have a less stressful vacation and dump the camper down low. No need to try out for the Olympics if you haven’t even started working out yet.
Or in other words, just because you can, don’t mean you should.
Hope this helps!
