So remember that if ever towing a car off the hitch with a cable or strap if they lock up the brakes or get stuck on something.
I believe that was a guy pulling a school bus out of a snow bank. Horrible but something to keep in mind.

Glad you got one Bill, someone that will put some serious miles on it that can have a good evaluation. Looks like a good idea, and def. wont break the bank. But personally, with pulling a trailer, the extra load on the truck, squeaking springs, extra axles moving up and down etc., I have my doubts that it will even be noticeable. Cant wait to hear back on the review.
