How much can you actually tow?

Great video by Josh!

This is a good example of the kind of resources available to the novices, and even as a refresher for us experienced haulers. Anybody looking to get into towing for the first time or who are just unfamiliar with the governing factors of towing and tow vehicles need to dig into this kind of information before buying a tow vehicle.

Agree! I was so confused when we started considering buying a truck and camper a few years ago. We knew absolutely nothing about payload, cargo carrying capacity, tongue weight and what it all meant. We had never camped in our life! Overwhelming at first but I did know it was important to learn, I studied and researched diligently for months, until it became clear. It is not something to enter into blindly. I think these videos are so helpful for both new and a good refresher for pros.

I'm a big fan of YouTube "University" too.  

On those rainy days like today it is actually fun to jump down the rabbit hole of something I know very little about (actually that is most things 😆).

Shame that it seems that a fair number of people don't either want to do the work and/or simply don't know to study what they don't know.

I'm with you. And I too am baffled when people ask me questions like, "how do you know how to do that". I've always sought out knowledge about anything I endeavor to do, it used to be the library and how to magazines. Today it's the internet and YouTube primarily. I never was that good in school as a student of the established system of learning. But I've always been very good at finding answers to my questions and more so on the how to of things I've yet learned to do. When I get asked that question I just refer them to the internet. Often you get the "that's too much trouble" look in return. Oh well.
