No amount of fear mongering about weight and safety will influence me

Didn't intend to offend your sensitivities....Haven't seen any fear mongering going on.....just pointing out the obvious.... also didn't know an internet forum could have such a huge influence on anyone. I suggest you disconnect your brake lines, and deflate all the tires before your next trip....I get better gas mileage that way..

So keeping the tires inflated and brakes connected is why I don't get great fuel economy while towing, darn I knew I was doing something Wrong
