Most pick ups came with a step bumper and thats what they towed with.
It kills me that you see all these guys with 2500/3500 diesels pulling 5000lb loads around.
That***8217;s why a working guy who actually needs that capacity can t afford them, only doctors, lawyers and accountants.

I completely agree. Big diesel trucks are everywhere it seems, and rarely are they doing any work. But frequently they are speeding.
Once upon a time the drivers blowing your doors off on the interstate were in sports cars. Now it's more often a big pickup truck, and sometimes they're blowing your doors off while towing a boat or camper!
But I digress . . .
I agree with Skunk. Nobody is buying cuddy's anymore.
