yeah, I recently pulled 8000 lb of concrete and a trailer with the gran caravat. very slow and long spacing. I did it but don't recommend it. I've also had the quarry dump 4-5 tons on a 1 1/2 ton truck and made the trip. I don't recommend either. It is MUCH more pleasant to have a load

Could it have the infamous diesel engine that caused Cadillac owners of that era to form an organization for the purpose of making GM compensate them for their bad Caddies? Some of the engines held up; some didn't. A friend had one of the bad Caddies and I think GM finally bought it back.
