I don't think the commercial with the Toyota Tundra towing the space shuttle could hold a candle to this one.

The 5th wheel should have Brembo 30in disc brakes and a CPU controling the dynamic stability control....

Brakes, shmakes.


The TT's brakes are adequate to slow it's own mass.
The problem is that it has the power-to-mass ratio of a fright train.


Its the route planning that concerns me. That rig would need a 1/2 mile just to get to double-nickels.

Does this fall under the saying, "when I tow it...I hardly know it's back there"?

The sales guy also sold him the Taj Mahal, Golden Gate Bridge and 51% interest in the Houston Texans.

I'm thinking the car may be "Smart", but the driver is not!
