Hmmm a thread about the optimal tow vehicle and only 8 replies over a

Would it help if I claim that you need one of these to tow with?

Dunno, at a curb weight of 10,500 lbs and "only" 230 hp and 540 ft lbs
of torque, it looks positively wimpy in comparison to the BMW 335D at
3800 lbs with 282hp and 428 ft lbs of torque. And yes... :-)

Oh,that's top notch! But shouldn't it be a bike-for-two? When the
"crew" comes to pluck the pilot from some field, looks like somebody's
got to walk back!
