Re: Break-in gone wrong!

The kijiji ad shows seller’s location being Manitoba, Canada. Not sure if the car is there though. In this ad he was originally asking for anything over $78K. I just checked the ad, and now asking...

Re: Towing Capacity?
Lots of science actually goes into truck trailer dynamics, but in your case it should be fairly straight forward. Looks like rear of truck is a fair distance from rear axle centreline, so even though...
