early 2000's reading the new specifications from EPA smog requirements
A lot of the advice and opinions are also out of context
What works for someone with a small block and a 7K GVWR will or may not

Even where one tows or mostly tows makes a difference. Ditto the trailer's attributes
There are very few one size fits all in anything, IMHO
