Title showed this one at 16K lbs. My old 1 ton 5.9 farm truck tows my heavy tractor to hwy speeds just fine and it has nearly 400K miles on it. I just think the bus should have performed better than it did. It had a tough time with the slightest uphill grades. It would be very stressful driving any distance.
A Cat powered pusher would be ideal but I suspect they are rare.
