My dually is my DD so I know what you mean!!
How far are you going to be towing it? You'll be within spec so I wouldn't worry too much.... |
most of my boating will be done on the rivers here in Pittsburgh. I will take it to Lake Erie, the Chesapeak and Raystown lake some. So most of the towing will be local with a few extended trips. I want to be able to weekend on the boat. I've always loved the lines on the Cafe Racers and wish I wouldve been in the market when you bought yours. Otherwise it might be sitting at my marina. lol But I have to sell my Baja first.

Sounds like you have dealt with tires before MIke! HahAhaha....

I know a little..........

Tg
I pulled our old 94 TG with blowers and #3SSM's on an aluminum trailer with my 2002 Chev 2500HD. It was a little anemic, and definitly the max, but it worked.

If you are under the tow capacity of the truck and consequently dont have to worry about liability I would say go for it. You won't regret it EVER. If you decide you want a little more stability throw some bags on the truck. |
I have a 1994 Cig Top Gun. It's very heavy and kind of dangerous to tow. I had a 2000 Dodge Daully Automatic. Destroyed the transmission every 150 miles of towing. I had to get my transmission replaced 4 times in one summer. Went to a 2007 Dodge Dually 6 speed 4x4 manual tranmission and have not had any problems is 3+ years. If you have 225/75/R15 tires on your trailer, go with Maxxis tires. I have had bad luck with other tires.....like 3 blowouts in 2 years. Anyway, be careful towing that thing, it can be hard to stop.
Note: if you are turning and there is gravel on the road, expect your rear to be pushed as if you were on ice. |
Tow my 02 Gun w a 07 Classic cc lb 3500 single rear wheel Duramax.
Put air bags on back and it tows better than I thought it would. Dont forget the TRAIN horn to warn the fkrs when you are comming thru! |
Dodge autos have sucked for years 2 options allison or a bull dog 4R100 in the ford. The reg. Ford trans will only last if babied and a huge...... cooler and the inline filter that they rec. from the factory now.
