Amen! Even if you are not going to be pulling a trailer, if you are not familiar with driving a truck, the higher the center of gravity the greater chance you have of flipping it.

Personally, I love my "Fix Or Repair Daily" .... and bought it over the choice of a Chevy (which, to me, always feels too "loosy Goosey")

Before I lay me down to sleep
And fall into a slumber deep
Hear this little prayer of mine
Hope it gets to you in time
Bless those on land and sea and air
Who fight for freedom here and there
Send special blessings from above
Protect them with your shield of love
Return them safely, we humbly pray
To the Land of the Free
And the Home of the Brave
