So the past two days were insanely windy. Friday was 60 mph gusts all over the area, Saturday was less so but still annoying. I picked the racecar up from Mach V on Saturday morning, hung out at Joey's all day and towed it home around 4 PM.
My confidence in using the Range Rover as a tow vehicle for a 20ish' enclosed trailer has been greatly reduced. It was being blown all over the fucking place, as was the trailer. Granted, it was super windy so maybe that's just how it was going to be regardless yesterday, I saw other large vehicles (actual tow trucks and so on) being blown around too.
Would a 1/2-ton pickup do any better in that scenario, or would it be white-knuckle no matter what? I get no sway from the trailer normally and have plenty of power and brakes for it, but yesterday was unnerving enough that I contemplated another F-150.
