:-D Yeah, I want a bunch of stuff I can't have. lol. You mentioned "Gross Combined Weight Rating" where would I find this information to solidify the details for me? Thanks.

Hey folks. New member here in VA. I joined because I am thinking about a m1008 or m1009. I am questioning the ability of the m1008 to perform as a decent tow rig though and that's what led me here. Problem is the auction closes tomorrow so I have some decisions to make. Ultimately, if I decide...
