[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1707427, member: 28912"] My father always told me that it really makes little difference what the towing capacity of a truck that matters, it is the stopping capacity that counts. About 25 years ago we had an old dump bed grain truck that we used to haul some rock on occasion (the truck was old even back then). I was driving and we had just gotten a load of gravel and as we were coming down a hill into a Y intersection the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I told my dad to hold on and pray nothing was coming from the other direction. Luckily nothing was and I limped the truck into the driveway of the next farm we saw. We asked an old man that was there if he wanted a load of rock. He asked how much and I told him it was free, I just wanted to get the truck back home. That is one day that my butt could have pinched a 20 penny nail in two. [/QUOTE]
