Pickup truck tow vehicle stability tests

The roads I'm contemplating that aren't so good for duelly's are the unimproved variety with lots of rocks and ruts, often with a rather unforgiving drop on one side into a ravine or river. There are full size trucks on these roads but very few are DRW. "


Then if you know what's here in the east...the roads I'm talking about also have sheer cliffs on one side, (back up if you run into some one), and drop offs into ravines with raging rivers or streams...same thing.....but I know, it's just NC, TN, WV and VA...nothing like Idaho...

Hey, I'm tired of arguing the point, you win.....your roads are impassable...no way could I drive or tow on them...BUT, I also have enough common sense to not take a 39' 9" high profile 5er on one of those type highway's, though I haven taken a 3/4 ton towing a 27' TT into some ravines that might make you even happy about it.

you win....I need to avoid Idaho like the plague and you already know what it's like around here and probably could do it blindfolded...your point is taken.....

I'm not trying to win anything, I'm just pointing out that DRW trucks have some substantial limitations for some people such as myself. The company I work for has several locations in the south (including two in North Carolina), so I travel down to that part of the country at least once a year and am pretty familiar with it. A lot of it is really scenic too - in particular that eastern part of NC is gorgeous. When you get a little further south and things flatten out I'm not as sold, though. The only time I can see any distance in Florida is on highway overpasses. Talk about flat...
