Thanks for the good advice. I would really like to keep this truck (I've put 100,000 miles on it) but I've used it to pull some very heavy loads on a 16 foot trailer and I've learned it's limitiations. The biggest issue is the kinds of roads I drive on in the vicinity of my farm... which are narrow, curvy, and often steep and sometimes wet. The Nissan will pull about anything, but stopping is another story.

What about a long wheelbase versus a short one?

Keep those opinions coming, please.

Thanks,

John
