   My concern was if by some weird chance a cop decided to pull us over and   
   check things.  Now, I at least have a weigh ticket in the Bronco showing   
   it under 5K.   
      
   What I wanted to do was get a bumper bike rack for the bronco to be able   
   to carry two bikes on trips.  I'll get one anyway for use on trips where   
   we intend on going somewhere just to ride bikes and not pull the Bronco,   
   so I might just do it anyway after I see how it feels pulling the truck.
