- QUOTE" The big V8 may be rated for more tow than the smaller one, but it doesn't rate any more "stop."

This is not exactly true. A big V8 designed to tow 7000 lbs is equipped with a braking system capable of stopping 7000 extra lbs. A smaller TV with a lower towing capacity will have a lower stopping capacity. May not make a difference much of the time, but when the family of deer run in front of you even at 45mph you will be glad you have the big V8. Unless I am mistaken most of us tow our TM to places where we are more likely than not to see deer and other large animals in the road.
