Re: Towing capability
It'll tow it, won't do it fast but it will. Have towed 10k with my 64 3/4 ton and getting up to 55 was no problem. Took time but on level ground it did it. Pulling a hill downshifting to 3rd at full throttle is Not uncommon....but even on a 95 degree day the motor hardly warmed up. Stopping is the biggest concern.....even 10k coming to a stop takes effort and requires scheduling ahead of time.
Unfortunately alot of these bigger v6's are going for outrageous prices so I'd consider a gear splitter.....don't see those every day and road ranger makes one for the sm420's.
Most of the loads I hauled or more like this. She still does it with ease.
