Re: [RC] trucks / towing ratings (long) - Karla Watson

 Just because the truck is
rated to pull a certain amount, is it rated to STOP that amount?
There has been a quote on ridecamp that is brought up every time someone talks about towing with smaller vehicles.....
"Its not what you can tow, its what you can STOP!"
 
There is nothing more frightening than that feeling of having your horse trailer PUSH you down hills and nothing more frightening than pushing those breaks down to the floor and taking a LONG time to get to a stop! Not safe and not fun.
