I'm with you, Dave...GO BIG!! Man, a 16k BO? Sheesh.
My next bar might be more capacity than the NightHawk.
For all...
I made take fire here, but that's ok...I've changed my perspective, out of the BEST SAFETY I can provide, and hope that maybe this will change your perspective as well.
I'm now in a camp with quite a few others who say that I tow-bar is CHEAP when compared to what it's being asked to do.
So, I'm all in favor with the 3 year replacement plan!
Around a circle of Newell buddies, we were discussing the last few tow/plate failures...and here are a few of the irrefutable comments which, once you heard them, ya kinda felt guilty.
"Think about the fact you're in a (up to) $2.5M 65k pound coach pulling (up to) a $100k heavy SUV/Truck."
"You're dropping well over a $THOUSAND to fill your tank after a couple legs."
"Your tires are replaced every 5 years for $8k."
"Your insurance is (up to) $20k/year"."
"And yet...you balk at replacing your $1k tow-bar every few years?"
P.S. I think I need a stiff drink after listing all of those figures!!
