I don't want to deviate from the post subject but the ONLY two reasons that towing
in America the rigs Andy put together are:
1 - Legal issues in case of accident
2 - Almost nobody in America really understands what ball angle in a hitch is for.
Andy proved over and over again that a minivan and a sedan can be
more stable towing a 9000lbs camper than a truck and I tested that towing a 6000lbs camper with a BMW X5 for 22000 miles and until today I haven't found a more stable rig than that.
They show you a 1 ton truck flipping over on highway and scare the hell out of people so they will buy a more expensive vehicle and obviously if you question, the legal argument is there... and since people in America don't know that payload and towing capacity
for the same vehicles outside America is higher (the same BMW X5 I had here in US have a towing capacity 1000lbs higher in Europe) everybody keeps profiting off Americans ignorance on towing....
