got a 92 f150 flareside, 4.9/5 speed manual, 2wd
i need to get my old Stang to a frame repair shop, so i plan on puttin her on a trailer to get her there.
Mustang, no engine/tranny/front suspension/body panels. only thing is the front clip on the car, weighs in around 2000 pounds. Enclosed trailer should add 1k max to that. ~3k Gross weight
Class 3 hitch rated at ~6k with a 600 lb tongue weight.
QUESTION: will the trucks drivetrain have any issue whatsoever pulling that? Or suspension for that matter? Main concern is the M5OD and Diff.
Edit: distance is maybe 30 miles round trip, half loaded.

 

Lol

 

If say it should be fine if your truck is in good shape. But I'd say that trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs, my 16 ft flatbed weighs 1800 lbs.

 

I'd*

 

Everyone doesn't know the capabilities of their trucks, be nice lol.

 

if you've got 3.55 gears you'll be right near max tow rating. 3.08 i wouldnt try it.

 

Flat land should be ok. Not fast but just don't race. Trailer brakes are necessary though.

 

what he said Sean. i aint a truck guy, thats why i have a Mustang. Drive and maintain the truck, but its not the toy. A-B rig thatll take a load of parts in the bed and our snowy winters.
Brandon, its the featherlite aluminum trailer. closer to 1400 sounds right. and it does have brakes, friends use a diesel Toureg of all damn things to pull their 56 Packard
Andrew, gearing is 3.55, id be happier if it were 410s but whatever, use what i got

 

Dang that's a light inclosed trailer.

 

guess so, from what your saying. but thats what they tell me it is. unless its the max weight of the tongue, but im not sure. going off what ive been told here
