Thinking about getting a TC, but seems to be more costly???

As was mentioned above, towing a boat or other trailer is where a TC shines. I tow kayaks and boat trailers with mine and have the convenience of not being restricted to one or the other, or towing a train. Cuts down on potential bumber of blown tires too! Plus, I've always liked the way TC's look. Much nicer to my eye than a trailer being dragged behind with a living space that's largely unnecessary for the types of trips my wife and I take.
