Are there many hills and curves between you and the tractor? I may sound a little blunt, but you can't enjoy your new purchase if you have a bad misfortune hauling it home. There is no comparison when you compare a pickup pulling a trailer versus a real truck when it comes to safety. I personally wouldn't even think of hauling a 1586 with a pickup. The cummins will pull the weight like a champ, but it will use about the same amount of fuel as a diesel truck and if you have to stop fast, or maybe swerve for a car, or come up on a curve a little fast with a pickup/trailer you will be in trouble and if you hit a car you will do just as much damage as a truck would, only if you are in a real truck your chances of coming out alive are much better. I know money is probably tight for you but I think you should budget the cost of hiring a truck to do the hauling in with the purchase price of the tractor. Sorry for sounding a little harsh, but there are times trying to save a few bucks might not be saving us much in the end. Jim
