right on, also the main variable in comparing a Lexus towing heavy and fast to a semi towing heavy and fast is that the Lexus doesn't have 10 air drum brakes.

that truck wasn't meant to tow heavy, doesn't have the right brakes, not heavy enough, just because it can get the weight moving doesn't mean its safe. like I said earlier I'd lean more towards making it an expedition/offroad truck.
