Re: [A/S] Re: Tow Unit ?s
Hi Eric:
I pull a '67 Safari 22 with a '92 Ford F-150 4WD 7-ft bed pickup with a
5.8L V-8 3:55 gears w/posi in the rear and E4OD A/T and factory tow
package. So far I have pulled my trailer in much of CA, AZ, NM. I have
pulled over some reasonably steep grades. I have negotiated short and
sometimes uphill on-ramps to Inter-States and Freeways. I have made a few
"panic" stops. My trailer published weight is 3420 lbs. I use an
EAZ-Lift equalizer and sometimes a friction sway controller.
This truck is adequate for the situation that I have. It has performed
very well, but not with any REAL extra margin. IOW, I would not consider
pulling anything bigger Airstream with this truck.
FWIW
