Default New truck?

Well, I'm sure John has driven an M35-A2 Oshkosh down places that
wern't considered a road before.

Pulling a truck and a camper or boat should be a breeze.


Depends on the driver and the circumstances. I've seen large travel
trailers and large boats literally virtually jackknife on the road in
front of us when the driver swerved for one reason or another. In my
opinion, too many trailer towers drive too damned fast for conditions
and their abilities. 60-65 mph should be the legal limit when you are
towing a trailer and there should be a mandatory road safety course plus
a notation on your license before you can tow anything bigger than the
smallest trailer.
