That's a pretty ignorant statement.  For the record, trains ride on coil springs, and trains can tow a decent amount.  Saying that coil springs won't work for towing is just plain stupid.  The load rating of a spring is what determines if it is up to the challenge... not necessarily the type of spring.  
The rear coils on my 2015 2500 are rated to 6500 lbs.  The rear leaf springs on a 2015 F250 are 6100 lbs. Which is "better" in your opinion?  For me, the higher rating (and also more comfortable ride) are "better".
Hey there Spoon....The statement about Sidecar being ignorant was uncalled for.  Everyone is entitled to their option, even you.  If you actually knew Sidecar, you would realize he knows what he is talking about.
His statement, " Coils are fine for ride quality", is a true statement.  The part of his statement, "not so good for towing", is also accurate and in a later post of Sidecar's, he gives facts to support his statement. 
All goes back to being a little more patient with another person's ideas, driving, or actions.  Won't hurt you and you'd be wiser for doing it.
My opinion.  Worth what you paid for it!
