Another factor people don't consider is length of the trailer as

the ability to tow X amount of pounds - has to do with trailer weight
and length compared to vehicle weight and length.

I feel a rant coming on.

I will refrain. :)
A deer taught me a real good lesson about braking and maneuverability
while towing.
Damn straight. Around here, that's a real problem in the mornings and
late evening. You just never know when the critters are going to come
out of the wood work.
Also renmember that when you see a deer crossing the road, there are
usually a
few more behind them that you haven't seen yet.



Hitting a steer running across the road is a lot worse.


Moose are probably worse again. Those long spindly legs make sue the large
body crashed through your windshield.



We don't have a whole bunch of moose down here, but there are deer
everywhere, and they seem to get whacked by cars on a daily basis.
