In the '70s we safely carried a 8' 6" truck camper in CO/NM/UT/WY/MT mountains on a 1500 chevy 4.10 gears with a 185hp and 295 torque 5.7 gas engine.
Todays much hogher HP/Torque gas engines are a huge improvement with towing a trailer or just carrying a TC in the bed in the mountains or in high winds conditions out here on the plains.
The only truck I (totaled) wrecked from air pressure loss was a one ton DRW Ford in my hauling business. Best I could tell was the outside tire went first overloading the inside tire. It was nite time and on a curvy road with no shoulders and no blowout noise. The GN trailer brakes kept the rig from jack knifing but I couldn't follow the curve in the road so in the rocky ditch we went.
The truck suspension engine/tranny was all but ripped off the truck. The full loaded trailers axles were ripped loose one side and both vehicles were a loss.
Theoretically a one ton DRW on paper would seem to be more stable when a rear tire is lost. But it doesn't always happen the way it looks on paper.
And of course don't forget a blowout can happen on the front of any vehicle.
