| So you are saying a vehicle with a total towing capacity of 5000# will have trouble pulling 2/3 that weight? Why? Every truck out there with a V6 can only pull, what, 1000#? that's just not true.
This fellow didn't ask if he should buy the ultimate towing rig, he asked if a vehicle with a 5000 pound towing capacity would tow a boat that weighs 2/3 that amount. The obvious answer is YES. I can't find a thing out there that warns against towing 2/3 of any vehicles towing capacity, and the rig trailer is supposed to have disc brakes. So I picked up the phone and called a Chrysler Jeep dealer. Asked them the question back in service, and they laughed and said OF COURSE the truck will handle that load just fine. Then I called a Ford dealer, same thing. Top mechanic in town, same thing. All said to get a tranny cooler if towing long distances during the summer. | |
