Denny:

Great effort on your part. Of course you hit the great corporate impasse -- common sense versus the liability bottom line. All said, I'd really have to be in love with the Pilot beyond belief to put my trust (and wallet) in a product that may or may not do the job adequately. If it works, I'm the winner -- if it doesn't I lose, and that loss will be almost $30,000.

So I say there are far too many TVs out there that will do the job without all the computational gymnastics involving coefficients of drag, moments of inertia, tongue weight versus gross weight, etc.

Life's too short to waste it worrying if my TV's tow capacities are right. Head down to your friendly Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota dealer's and get something you know will work -- hook up the TM, head to the woods, and pop a beer, sit back, relax & say, "Ain't life great?"
