Towing and Hauling Are Not the Same

Many truck shoppers around Tryon, NC get these two terms mixed up. Towing refers to pulling a load behind your truck using a hitch, like a boat trailer or a camper. Hauling means loading cargo directly into the truck bed itself. Think lumber, bags of mulch, or heavy equipment sitting in the back. Both jobs put stress on your truck, but in different ways.

When it comes to hauling trailers, boats, or heavy equipment, many drivers wonder whether a rear-wheel drive (RWD) truck is up to the task. The short answer is yes—RWD trucks are excellent for towing, and in many cases, they're the preferred choice. At Stott's Ford in Tryon, NC, we're here to help you understand why RWD trucks are built for the job and how to get the most out of your towing experience.
