Re: C10 Towing - feedback wanted

Yeah I think I've come to the conclusion that for very short distances I would use it, but for any real towing I'm going to look at other options.

Luckily right now I don't need to do so, but not sure what next year will bring. I wanted to bring the boat home in the fall (~60 miles on the road) and for that I may do an enterprise truck rental. Looks like I can get a 2500 series for a day for fairly cheap.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
