The wife will tell her husband "honey that trailer looks so big behind our little pickup"

at which hubby who has just spent $56,000 at the Ford dealer for his dream leather seated turbodeisel one ton, and a $35,000 toy-hauler says "no problem's the truck is rated for....."

Then hubby, wife and the little dog come though ND in the spring on their way to AK for the summer, March-May good time for wind energy, bad time for vacation..

"honey slow down, I feel like were going to get blown off the interstate!"

"no problem's the truck is rated for....." as he grips the wheel even tighter

Yep - I can tell you fer sure that 3500 ain't gonna haul it far. I lived in Wyo for about 28 yrs - windy as heck and no place for puny trucks hauling 5ers.
We used Pete's and KW's to haul horses all over the west slope with nary a problem, exc on portables.
