Wellllll...
It looks like I'm going to be towing a *HEAVY* load. Unfortunately, there are hills. I'm picking up that parts Montero, and I will be exceeding the max towing capacity a bit. I figure as long as I let the truck go at it's own pace and go nice and easy, I should be OK.
I'll be towing another Montero on a 2,200 lb auto transport trailer...so the load will be around 6,700 lbs total.
My truck has 33's, and the rig I'll be towing has 30's. If the 30's are solid, I'm considering switching them out and putting the 30's on my truck so the engine doesn't have to work quite as hard, but I may not have the chance.
I'm wondering...have you ever towed beyond your vehicle's capacity? A couple weeks ago, I towed a load of about 5,400 lbs and it seemed to do just fine. But I'm adding a small car on top of that. lol. :Wow1:
