Thanks Merritt. I've pulled satisfactorily with a 5.3 GMC 1/2 ton and a 16ft trailer hauling from 2-4 ton, although a 1/2 ton isn't meant for that kind of service. I've pulled with a 79 model 360 Dodge....kinda iffy.
My last GMC was a 6.0 and I loved it. Plenty of power for the 2-4 tons that I haul. It was even okay with my 5 ton skidsteer. I've found a 5.7 Dodge 2004 gasser and would think it may be comparable with the 6.0 GMC. I know the gas consumption will be bad but the vehicle itself is only 2/3 the price of the GMC I was looking at and the odometers are nearly the same.
Using my son's 92 Dodge Cummins now but it's a real dog on the road and rides like a tank.
I'm hoping there aren't any low flying jets tomorrow. The picture explains why I like bumper hitch trailers. I'd
never have gotten this thing on an over the wheels flatbed.
