Re: tow rigs
you know why the boss works so well? ...because its the perfect combination of power ,weight, and suspension......the gt500 is a totally different story. lots of power...thats great and all...but crappy suspension and tires....it wont hook up for $hit and it will make a fool of itsself on any road course running a 245 and 295 in the rear......but its good to see that atleast ford has FINALLY arrived to the game that GM has been winning for decades.Quote:

Re: tow rigs

Re: tow rigs
That trans is a weak link (the weakest in the entire drive line). With that being said you can do some things to beef it up. That is a long trailer to be towing with such a short wheelbase truck..... you will definitely need a great distribution and anti sway system. Your truck will pull it but if you load it up its going to be heavy and you will need to just take it easy...... make no mistake that you will definitely be straining your rig..... I would recommend getting a good external trans cooler at a bare minimum.
