OK, I got a couple questions:
Where can I get the Magic Towing Dust ?? I haven't seen it at Advance Auto.
Does it have to be reapplied after a wash job ?? How about rain ??

I've tried it and it works perfectly. I accidentally applied too much once and my F250 suddenly had the towing capacity of a F450. I love the stuff but it is hard to find in auto parts stores.

Use it on my old broken down 05 Silverado 1500 every time I hook up. Works great and is a lot cheaper than a new bigger truck.

I hear if you use it on a dually it will give you the tow ratings of a freightliner

This magic dust is nothing new and has been around for quite a long time. Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother used this same dust to turn a pumpkin into a carriage with horse. This really is good stuff but incredibly hard to find.

It is nice to know that 'magic towing dust' is not needed for my Tundra. I am a bit concerned about what happens after I get the space shuttle over a hill. Does anyone have any extra magic brake dust?

Not to worry, the shuttle can deploy a parachute.
