Yeah +1 on towing being a bad idea. Weight is probably the biggest factor in safety, learned that the hard way back in the guard when an E8 told me to "hook THAT trailer to YOUR truck". Didn't think anything of it, as you shouldn't when a master sergeant tells you to do anything, but turns out mobile command centers don't like being towed by anything less than an up-armored HMMV. When I tried slowing that thing going downhill, I learned a lot about towing physics that day. Barely kept it on the road and only managed to stop the trailer after it flipped. The truck just didn't have the weight and I didn't have the runway because of a couple of idiots who decided to stop in the middle of the road at the bottom of a steep hill. Not saying the Dakota couldn't handle it but it'd be one small mistake under the wrong circumstances from disaster for sure.
