I think the TOW RIG is all about where a guy lives and how many times he's actually going to use it.... In the Northwest -- we have MAJOR grades 5/6/7% -- and one after the other if you're going south on I-5 thru the Siskiyou's and then over Mt Shasta... and further south over "the grapevine" to LA area

If I go East -- I immediately have to pull a grade -- and if I go North - I am winding thru the mountains.... So basically I can't go anywhere FLAT or thru ROLLING hills.... People here need real pulling power and even more important the brakes that come along with that power.

I once -- and only once -- used my Denali 6.0 to pull an open flatbed trailer with a '69 Camaro (big block) over the Grapevine to LA --- I was WOT doing 35 mph and if I lifted I was sure I was going to go backwards....
