“Real world” tow ratings..
So I have a chance to get a vehicle from a friend in Colorado that weighs about 3200lbs. Add what, another 1800 for a car trailer (flaman or uhaul rental) and I would be sitting around 500lbs at minimum?
Considering mountains and some large hills what do you guys think a realstic vehicle is to tow this setup safely?
My old 98 gmc had such crappy brakes Im not sure about using another similar truck, but newer 1/2 tons are better??
A newer Nissan Frontier is rated to tow 6500?? Would you feel confident hauling a car on trialer with that thing?
My gmc got wiped out by a deer, not sure what to buy to replace it. One ton dually is obviously best, but not going to happen. Havent towed much, trying to be smart about purchase.
Thoughts??
