[AT] OT Tires

[charlie hill]

What the heck guys,  we had a fellow on here a while back that could haul 
17,000 # of live cattle behind a Ford Ranger and then wondered why the 
transmission went out on it.  By his standards a Dakota is a full fledged 
tow vehicle!   I suspect a Dakota would do fine pulling a couple of cubs or 
AC B's etc. as long as it could stop them.
