I pulled one with my F350 non dually. I towed it about 10 miles for my buddy that broke down on the road. I was glad to get that thing off my truck cuz I'm not set up for it..but I've driven my his rig and it pulls pretty good.....he has air bags and 4:10 axle, CC, Auto trans, and all the freebe mods from this site. It died @ 340K...mostly towing that trailer cross country.

thats the trailer you would need to make money transporting cars. its hard to make decent money hauling 2 cars at a time. the 18 wheelers can haul so many cars at a time people don't want to spend 2-3 times as much to get there car hauled by a hotshot. iv got a good friend that owns and good sized used car dealership and he gets cars from Minneapolis's to Bismarck (a full day round trip) for 250 a car sometimes when he has 1-2 cars sitting there that someone is waiting on he will pay me 500 for a single car or 350 a car for 2 cars and even that im hardly making anything

you really need a 650 for something like that. These little strokers wont last long with weight like that. Trailer, 8k, another15k on it, thats almost 30k constantly. No thanks.....
