Towing a 05 dakota with 08 Fx4?
Hello again all,
I am going to be traveling from Rio Vista, CA to San Antonio, Texas in the next couple weeks and need to tow along my wife's 2005 4Dr 4.7 liter V8 6 foot bed 4x2 Dodge Dakota with my 2008 F150 FX4 supercap (2 front with the small rear opposite opening doors) 5.4l and I was wondering what my best bet would be to get it there. Either to get a 2 wheel vehicle tow dolly and remove the driveline on the dakota or get a a-frame and again remove the driveline. However, I was wondering is will the stock towing package from ford with my 6000lb 2" reciever be strong enough to tow it, or will I have to upgrade to a weight distribution reciever for the tow dolly or if anyone else has any other ideas that would help me get it back down there the safest and easiest just let me know!
Thanks!
