Was wondering if the inline 6 300 will pull a 25-30 gooseneck trailer.

 

Yes it will. Maybe not fast, but it will pull it.

 

thanks for the info! i know I dont have any speed what so ever but i've got all the torque i need.

 

if it doesnt swap the gears and stay off the highway? lol

 

Motor ought to be fine. What trans do you have? Don't know, might be something to consider.

 

Won't be a problem as long as your not in a big hurry.

 

i know what a goose neck trailer is but whats the 25-30 stand for? 25-30 thousand pounds?

 

Maybe 25-30 feet! if he was pulling 25-30 thousand pounds with that 300 I6, my FE would go and crawl into the nearest corner, and so would all the other v8's out there!!!!

the 300 is an amazeing motor, and will take a beating. that said, I think it is a bad idea to pull a trailer that loaded, probobly weighs 3 times that of your truck.. if you get on any steep incline, you will be going so slow, as to make your self into a traffic hazzard.when you crest the hill, you then will not have engine brakeng power, and your small truck will not have the wheel brakeng power that you are going to need. I hope no one is waiting at the red light when you get there. get an f-350, with 460, or diesel, then you have covered all the bases. we have a wrecker service, and at least once a month, we have to roll someone's rig back up on it's wheels, or wench it out of the weeds. usually the DOT gets involved, and the owner winds up with some real heafty tickets, sometimes rig even gets impounded. and the whole time you stand the chance of injury, or death, not just you, but any one unlucky enough to be in your way.... just my .02

 

What truck is this in? What gears are in the rear end? How big are the tires?

 

Sounds like good advise, don't skimp out, remember it is to be a good time, not a lesson in misery!

 

whats to be a good time that doesnt make any sense i never towed a trailer for the fun of it

 

Never towed a boat, RV, jetski, snowmobile, etc. trailer?

 

How much total weight are you towing? I mean, it will pull it. Gears will be the most important part of how it feels while pulling it.

 

If it's an F-250, I would still say it's not a great idea if you have any mountans. The goosneck itself isn't light.
