No, I didn't say it wasn't safe to tow with a Caddy or any other vehicle as long as it's done safely as a matter of fact I flat tow my Sammi and my brother flat tows his Sammi his behind his Safari Trek.  I'm Towing his Sammi to Medford, OR. this weekend behind my F-150, but at the posted Truck Speed, which is considered the legal speed, not 70 or 80.  Just because your rig can or is capable of doing so doesn't mean it's safe to do so, under certian conditions it isn't even safe to pull it at the legal speed even with all the proper safety equipment aboard.

Hell, I'm a retired over the road driver  and on some occassion I've been there and done that.  Safely, yes most of the time, some of the time I pushed the envelope.  Do I recommend others to push the envelope like I did?  NO, I Don't and for someone to do so they are doing a disservice to others here on this board.  If this offends someone so be it.

Like I said there are a lot of good people here and there is a alot of good information to be gleened from this website and I enjoy it.

Believe me, I don't go over the legal limit either. Our local speed limit is 65mph to 75mph all over my area. I have been driving trucks for 10 years. I pull trailers loaded with concrete. I fully understand the vehicle limits and terrain. A CDL is too valuable to me. I don't push anything as far as speed, sleep, vehicle capabilities and weather. All of work experience helps me when towing my own stuff.

I apoligize for the thread Hi-Jack.

I hope everyone has a great time in Zuwharrie. :)
