After driving a 4 door for 15 yrs., I went the other way, 2 door/shortbed/ 305 horse v 6/ towing package. Not too sure about the towing as I haven`t towed yet. A short wheel base truck will outrun the car trailer when backing, makes it easier. Guess were all headed to the dummy ford thing about the truck backing itself ! It`s getting bad , when a man can`t back up his own truck !!
