Some would try to pull that rig with a VW Rabbit if they could get a hitch to fit it.

That is CRAZY....I have the same truck(2010 model) and i dont think i would EVER feel comfortable pulling something over 27 feet, never mind another 10 feet on that lol...People like that put other peoples lives in danger as well as theirs, they need to really rethink their TV situation.

An interesting comment. My daughter just bought a new VW Rabbit, it is really sharp and fun to drive, the color scheme inside is great. I hope you are sitting down, the Rabbit has tow ratings and a hitch. What is this world coming to?

Of course it does. Only in America is the populace brainwashed into wrongly thinking they need an F450 dually to tow anything. In Europe, towing camper trailers with small cars is the norm. Check their figures for trailer crashes and wrecks, they're doing better than us. We tend to waste too much on too much camper, then we need more tow vehicle, but we're just wasteful, uncaring, selfish, and unwise.

Of course it would as long as it's got a diesel cause diesels got tark. You kin tow anything with a diesel! (angels sing)
Just last week I SAWED a F350 dually towing a three car auto transporter and the rear was squatted down probably to the bumpers. Didn't hurt me a bit. He's probably home having some coffee and reading the paper after a week's work oblivious to the shock he cause so many.
