I have a stock 95 ram 1500, 5.9 auto short bed. I need to pull a car in an enclosed trailer 1000 miles. Don't know the actual trailer weight, I'm guessing about 2500 pounds. (enclosed 20 foot car hauler). Car is a 69 GTX minus engine, trans, and most of interior. The FSM says my truck can pull up to 7,700 pounds. Can't afford a bigger truck right now. Will I damage my truck?? Your thoughts.




I had a 96 Ram 1/2 ton 4X4 with 318 auto.
We took a trip to Myrtle Beach S.C., coming from
Minnesota. The truck pulled a 31' 5th wheel camper
that weighed 8500 lbs just fine. We never used
O/D and on the big hills we put it in 1st gear
and took our sweet time. Trans cooler yes.
We had no need for a gauge, just one more thing
to worry about.

Snap your neck, mega G-force launch, is all I want!
