Then I remembered you're crazy car is a XR too.. Whoops. Should have taken it a little easier up Afton Mountain pulling the XR I guess.
But still, I peg you a person that takes overzealous good car of his motor vehicles, shouldn't the F-150 have been ok towing a car up Afton or were you being ridiculous?
*edit* It's a serious question in case I needed to clarify that. When I got rid of the Dakota and looked into a new vehicle I realized that I had pushed that thing beyond it's limits because of my GVWR / towing capacity math was .. well straight wrong. That and I had a tendency to floor it and speed up going up mountains instead of doing the intelligent thing of slowing down and getting back into torque range.
