When I was a kid my dad first pulled a 16’ canned ham with our Pontiac Catalina sedan. Then he got a olive green 69 Catalina wagon, tow package with a 427 (?) and we pulled a 26’ holiday traveler with a load leveling hitch and I got to drive that one at age 16 and I don’t remember worrying about loads or lack of power. Then we had a 72 Chevy caprice wagon, tow package with a 400 pulling a 28’ holiday rambler. I remember feeling under powered and the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico kicked it in the butt...barely made ration pass going 15 mph...but we made it. I wish my dad could see what towing with these modern diesels feels like these days. Lost him three years ago at age 92. He taught me a lot about driving and towing!
