[VAC] Re: tow vehicles

[RJ & Krista <radiodial@xxxxxxxx>]

Until we got the more powerful (& comfortable) Montero, we pulled our
17' Caravel with our '96 F-150 with the 5 speed manual & 3.73 rear end. 
It is near tow capacity (3500#) due to the lightweight tranny & clutch,
and 1st, Reverse & 5th gear are geared way too high (or low, depending
on your training).  It was OK for the most part, you just shifted down
into 2nd to go over the high mountain passes in the Sierras and
Cascades.  I think it could handle 2 more feet of trailer.
