Yeah, they are pricey and I'm not wealthy. But given what I tow (see signature) they were a lot less than buying a dooley. I weighed both options a lot of different ways and felt I would give the 19.5s a try before I did anything else. Plus, I really like my truck and have maintained to the nth degree. I know it has a lot of very good miles left in it. But, I'll see how they tow. If they don't provide the stability I seek then they will be for sale and I'll be looking for a truckl. Next trip should be in May. More then.
