Why you and old-fart keep telling us it doesn't make a bad situation better is baffling.

I stand corrected on using a WD hitch on a unibody vehicle then. I was under the impression that you needed a full frame for that.
Old-Fart is bang on with the rest in the above post though. We tow a 3,300 lb "dry" Airstream, and it's 4,200 lb when loaded. On a 1/2 ton truck chassis with a 5.7L V8 and 8,500 lb rated capacity, it is a comfortable tow but you definitely know it's there, especially up a long hill. I'd hate to try with a minivan...
