Tow Vehicle Preferences for more than 5K lbs

[76Red18]

If you have some wheel spin at the ramp already you need more weight in the rear of the tow vehicle or one with 4 wheel drive. Not much weight difference between a 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickup. If you just want a tow vehicle look for an old 1/2 ton 4 x 4 with a good motor and tranny with a cooler. Should be quite a few available in areas where there was once lots of construction. We sure do have a few here in Florida. Trailer brakes will stop the trailer.
