Good Oman

I pull my HC with a Toyota Tundra. We live in Salt Lake City and sail on mountain lakes and resevoirs.  Lots of steep pulls and decents. The large V8 is great for going up mountains.  But the weight of the Tundra and its fairly long wheel base is crucial in going down steep grades.  The trailer also has brakes.  Being pushed around by a boat/trailer is very scary.  Weight and wheel base for the towing vehicle really matters.  It is not just about horsepower or even tongue weight.
