[AT] OT: Really Nice tractor towing rig

	I just now looked at a Ford Motor Company TV ad on the Outdoor Life
Network that advertised a new Ford F-350 dually. It stated in the ad that
this pickup truck has a towing capacity of 19,000#. That must be one helluva
Ford. I've had several Fords and not even the F-350 dually dump truck with
the big block V-8 could handle 19,000#.
