[A/S] Re: YATQ tow questions
Hi Lee,
I tow a 1972 29 foot Ambassador with a 3/4 ton truck model. In some
vans, the designation may be 250 or 250 HD. I think some GM models
are designated as 2500 for a 3/4 ton model. I DO recommend at least a
3/4 ton unit. Engine size and axle ratio are important considerations
in purchasing a tow vehicle. Higher numeric axle ratios such as 3.73
or 4.10 are better for towing, but worse on fuel economy.
Just my 2 cents worth,
Kevin
