BryanL21,
Good Points. I do find any towing a bit stressful. My other experiences have been with a large 5th wheel (2500HD Silverado) and a 22' Cabin Cruiser (Ford Econoline Van). I think the ample HP and Torque (300hp/325 ft lbs) in my Volvo make it much less stressful. I find the most stressful aspect of towing is the constant vigil for potholes. I experienced two blow-outs on the 5th wheel and therefore am a bit paranoid about blow-out. At the time of purchase I upgraded the stock trailer tires to Goodyear Endurance one size up for some added peace of mind.
BTW, which mid-size PU did you get? I sure like the GMC Canyon. And, what engine and configuration (eg crew cab 4X4, short or long box etc)?
