Default Could/Should I pull it?
As above. Friend of mine needs his Dodge Ram 3500 extended cab, DRW, 2wd towed about 25 miles. I would be pulling it on a flatbed trailer. I do have towing package. Yay or nay?

Thanks.

Assuming you got the 5.4 then yeah you should be fine just make sure to turn off o/d and to not jump on it from a roll or anything. Show that dodge who's boss

Just please use trailer brakes. You don't want to be the guy that mows down a minivan because your brakes overheat. The stock F150 brakes are not all that overbuilt.
