It doesn't matter whether the tug is diesel or gasoline; either is capable of engine braking (as long as the diesel has an exhaust brake or a compression-release brake), and both should use engine...

Accessible, easily readable, doesn't block other controls or features, doesn't block the view of anything, doesn't block the defogger vent... looks good! :):thumb:

I have a 3/4" drive breaker bar which is at least 30" long, so my weight near the end of it (no bouncing) might be just about right for 450 lb-ft of torque. Even a 1/2" drive cordless impact will...

A separate license class (with associated testing) is normally required to ride a motorcycle, but I haven't heard of a class or endorsement (with testing) for personal (non-commercial) or RV towing....

Isn't that the message which you wanted to hear, expected to hear, and would have heard even if the video consisted of nothing other than the words "Newbie Toyota Bigfoot crash"? She didn't even...

Chuck, you are entitled to your opinion, but in fact my comments were not motivated by either of these factors. Everyone is a newbie at some point, but most people don't present themselves as an...

Well, she learned a bit, and certainly the hard way, but she didn't have to. As she now admits, "new" doesn't need to mean "clueless, not having made any attempt to learn anything". :rolleyes:

She doesn't even know how long the trailer is... not exactly an expert. Even after this learning experience, she still clearly doesn't understand much. Fortunately, it's often possible to learn from...
