First time towing a significant load

[TrailAdventurer]

4k or less car, single car aluminum trailer , mostly highway except for on / off for pickup and drop off of car. May be normal inclined and declines but nothing crazy. Picking up car from a customers house and bringing it to my shop

Figure about 1,500 lb for an aluminum car hauler, 4,000 lb for the car, you'll be under your truck's 6,400 lb tow rating. Assuming good tires, properly inflated, and all-else is good to go, should do Ok.

Let us know. I've not read of anybody else towing that heavy a load.

I will lyk. Looking like I will go for an aluminum trailer at some point.

That's about what it was towing this Camaro. The trailer was about that weight, with a 3600lb car. I managed to pull it over a couple mountain ranges between Central California and Vegas and it did surprisingly well.
