It has very little sway, not sure why. It seems like it should have more than it does.

I believe you win the fastest towing award. I really have no reason to pull the trailer that fast. Here in California the speed limit for towing is 55. I am already breaking the law and at 80-90 I believe I would be arrested for wreckless driving. Unless it is 2am, it is not possible to maintain 80-90 for a very long time. I always have to slow down as it is due to traffic.

Diesels emit black smoke, this is true. It's called soot/sulphur, and it is a byproduct of diesel fuel. A diesel does not pollute anymore than a gas vehicle of the same size.(especially since the introduction of ULSD and bio mixes)..people just think they do because they can see the exhaust.

He might need 3.55 gears so he can go over 100mph. I must have missed the part where Bill wants to pull 12K over 85MPH, Just plain crazy if you ask me

Ok...and vehicle that gets 8-10 mpg is such a friend to nature?

And actually a diesel is less polluting than a gas engine. By a wide margin.
Pretty near 0% hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide is produced during the combustion process.
Gas engines have required catalytic converters since the mid '70's and diesel engines have not until much later and those are simply particulate traps, not catalytic converters.

Really Bill, you are a danger to society with the speed of your vehicle carrying that much weight. I hope you slow down before it is too late.

Not ill-conceived, just ill-received. Funny. Ever been on a horse when it has bad gas? It's some kind of torture, I tell ya.

Sometimes jokes get missed or misunderstood. That's because everyone is cocked and loaded just waiting to fire back especially if the comment is made by someone having the opposing engine.
