That experience makes all the difference in the world!!! I have towed all my life so I feel confident offering advice, especially to newbees. If you had been someone who had never towed before (much less a truck driver) and you didn't already have a tow truck you were happy with my advice would have been very different!

All I will say is I have found the DRW to be a more stable towing platform overall and it is the main reason we went that route (it sure wasn't because we wanted to save money or liked the looks of a fat rear end).......
