Fact is, guys like pickup trucks. I would hate to do a slalom course with mine and I know the Grand Cherokee was probably safer all around. But I like sitting up with 7000lbs of metal around me in...

Not too many 18 year olds pulling Airstreams so no worries. I generally steer clear of young drivers (also beat up cars, young guys in lifted trucks, etc).

These threads are always the same. Someone proposes towing 4000lbs with an SUV and by the end of the thread they're in jail, people are dead and insurance is void. "I knew a guy once..."
