You ever noticed people on craigslist selling pickups that have 180k and it already has a replaced transmission or a replaced motor? These people are morons that don't understand anything, let alone what their vehicle is capable of. Its like taking a small bore single cylinder two stroke and holding it wide open at 13000 rpm and then wondering why it blew up. Yes a half ton can do it but you need to use your head. Trailer brakes are key. Not being a moron is key.
