For light usage like you stated, it's probably fine. For me, I yank an occasional stump, I pull a 8,000 pound loaded trailer, and in Florida we have Hurricane season. Whole oaks may fall and block the road. You can either wait for someone to cut it up and move it, cut it yourself, or drag it out of the way. In the last 4 years, I've done a lot of dragging. If you buy a pickup for regular heavy work or even the prospect of it, this go-cart motor ain't gonna cut your mustard. My 1993 Single cab short bed has more towing capacity. I will never support farting in the wind to stop a tornado. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727A using Tapatalk
