[QUOTE="GrumMan, post: 83345, member: 1305"] Hello Deermaster. I tow with a little 2.3 ford ranger. 1448 with a 25 hp, heavy 2x2 steel trailer with 15" steel wheel's. I esimate it loaded about 900-1200 Lbs. Never had any problem's but I'd guess my gearing is better designed for it. Your 6 cyl will definately have enough power, it's the transmission that's the weak point. If you start to smell a very distinct oder, that's probably what it is. Heat is what harm's it towing. You could get a tran's temp gauge, or a tran's cooler if it worry's you, but I think you'll be OK. Your setup doesn't sound that heavy to cause problem's. [/QUOTE]
