Towing: What's the heaviest thing you've pulled? Have you exceeded max towing...

The heaviest thing I've towed is a C-5 Galaxy. She weighs in at about a half million pounds on average. My tow rig was a U-30 tug. Not much for offroading - in fact I wouldn't recommend it. Way too big for RV parks in most places too, and is a ***** in U-turns.

Overall, though, I could pack away 70 of my best buddies and about 300,000 lbs of gear for a long weekend of camping and tail-gaiting.

Don't even ask about fuel mileage...

You have earned the "cool beans brah" award of the day. I have refueled a C5, 141, many 130's, and too many other aircraft to mention. I have also prepped ch-47's and a few tracked vehicles for loading into a C5, so many fun memories from those days. I was even lucky enough to be one of the first nonessential personnel to ever touch a Predator UAV back in the 90's.
