dont do this it is too heavy i blew my trans. i knew i was overweight for what my truck could handle but towed from michigan to connecticut. had to get the truck to my home town before i get sent to puerto rico for my job with the coast guard. time to trade her in for a bigger one when i am back in the states!!
That's sad when a 1/2 ton truck can't pull a simple load like that.
I towed the same load from the Washington coast to Western Colorado
twice. With the 62 Uni in my sig. 390 and C6.
Bro, That one tow shouldn't cook that tranny in my O. While it is a large load a Ford truck should have done the job. I will admit I am not up on new truck ability when used for towing. IMHO
I do live on a major 2 lane feeder road into Raleigh NC and see that kind of tow pass too often. Ford trucks haven't been the #1 selling truck in America for 40+ years running by being woosies on the side of the road when hooked to a big load trailer.
I wanna help relieve you from that burden from ever happening again. If you'll just give me you address, I'll hook up to your trailer with with truck and drag it down to Texas. Problem solved...
Too bad that Ford, Chebby, and even Dodge now do not offer a manual trans. in their trucks. How sad is it, that we can no longer decide when to shift, and when not to shift. My options are no longer mine any more, but regulated by people, who's opinion is that I do not need to shift, it will be done for me.
I ask this, "Are modern trucks, just station wagons with a birth defect?

Damn a full grown Ford Truck that can't shift it's own gears.
