well the ISO standard may designate a vehicle with a fixed towing hitch suitable for towing but tell that to the truck owners that have had to replace thier tranny's or repair them because of towing or pushing loads.

Anyone with any REAL experience in this industry knows better, no matter what documentation you find to state otherwise. ;o)

a lifttruck was not built with the intention of doing any type of fulltime towing, thats why they build tow tractors.
