Re: Noob questions
I used to tow my Seafari with a 2002 Ford Taurus with the 3.0L V6. Rated for 3500 lbs towing. Longest tow was over 1000 miles, round trip. No hiccups, no problems.
Seafari w/ bracket= 1830 lbs 135 V6 Mercury = 347 lbs Karavan 19-21T tandem trailer = 670 lbs 40 gallons fuel = 280 lbs Dive gear for two = 120 lbs Miscellaneous = 50 lbs TOTAL towed weight = 3297 lbs. You can adjust your weight figures, but that's a good ballpark. Most small or mini-pickups will pull 3500 lbs fine. I used to have an 84' 4-cylinder Ford Ranger that I regularly pulled a 20' Wellcraft V20 with. As far as cars go, the limitation is usually the frame and/or tranny.
