You don't need a 3/4 ton truck to tow a trailer..

My old 69 Mercury Colonial Park station wagon was a beast. It had a high performance 428cu with a C6 automatic. The frame on that thing was massive. Had a long wheel base as well.

That's just like this guy I saw last year.

All well and good but I'm sticking with the mammoth truck and motor and traveling in ease because I can.

Go to Europe, seemingly millions of them towing something. Caravans primarily

Gotta love those Polyglas tires!

Fun video -- anyone recognize the song "Sunday will never be the same?"

Anyway, this youtube guy has a ton of fun stuff from back in the day and it's just nostalgic for me seeing them now.

Great video.

when I was a kid we didn't have a truck & a mini van - there was just 1 vehicle and that was a full size wagon that did everything.
