If I can tow a horse trailer with two 1200 lb horses up Seven Mountains
(322 just west of Mifflin Co. Airport in PA) at 55mph with a 6-cylinder
Explorer, I don't know what glider you could be hauling that would
require a V8.

Cheers.

A trailer+glider that requires a V8 truck to tow is different
from one I can tow with a 6 cylinder SUV. The weight is there,
and has other implications than just rigging...


WTF? I've owned two 600-lb 15m gliders, and I've never used more than
4 cylinders to tow them.

Perhaps you forgot to release the parking brake?


LOL. I bet you live somewhere a bit flat? Good for you...
