definitly a full size truck if using a car trailer.  the trailer has brakes,
right?  Just wondering.  My friend towed his SHO(3300 lbs) on a car
trailer(no brakes) using a ford ranger(flimsy bumpers).  He had to panic
stop and bent the rear bumper completely under the truck.  trailer brakes
are good.  BTW: my 85 vanagain is 3050 lbs.
