Towing question.

Okay so... Ryan has decided to trade his Jeep for an 83 Bronco. My question is, how much is the towing capacity for my truck?

The one thing I'm worried about is my trans getting screwed if I tow the Jeep about 2 hours south and then towing the Bronco back another 2 hours. This is on a trailer, as well. So adding that weight to it.

stick or automatic?
automatics can tow more

 

make ryan use his truck haha, and why not just drive the jeep down there

 

Well, the Jeep isn't technically drivable at the moment. The brakes don't work, it's not plated or insured.

 

then make ryan use his truck so yours doesnt get hurt anymore then it is

 

He doesn't want his transmission to get messed up either.

 

Auto.

 

well i know for a fact that you can haul the jeep, just acceleration will be slower and stopping will take a little longer, the bronco might be a little heavy

 

I agree. The Jeep isn't what I'm too worried about. My truck towed Ryan's project truck, the 2000 Ranger for about a half hour, with no problems at all. It's the Bronco that I'm getting the lube ready for... Haha.

 

what size motor do you have?

 

4.0l

 

ahhh well i really have no idea how it will haul the bronco

 

Neither do I. I'd say he should just drive it back, but that's two tanks we gotta fill. And I'd hate to fill a Bronco up with these gas prices... :/

 

then dont get a bronco haha

 

He's ripping the engine and interior out of it for his 86 and then scrapping it.

 

ohhh

 

Yea, lol.

If anyone else could give me some more info, that'd be great. I don't even know the towing capacity of my truck.

 

you can tow it , should not be a problem . towing spec is like 5k pounds plus do not use the overdrive

 

So, towing the Bronco + trailer should be fine? Just making sure. OD will be turned off.

 

yes you can but be careful when stopping youll need more time to stop
