> [@Daddie](#): > > towing isn’t so much about power > > it’s about the chassis that’s towing it. Sort of true…but lower power vehicles like V6 blazers/explorers were not designed for the heavy load…not saying its impossible…but it does tax the tranny very very very hard on those types of vehicles and to avoid any problems…it would be the best bet…remember its Jay we are talking about here 😛 ---

88 GMC 1500… 305, 5spd 4" lift, drop hitch… so you should be able to see over the car, and it won’t look like it is doing a wheelie down the road. I should also be getting new tires soon… hopefully they are in the mail, should def be on by the time you need the truck. Even has a CD player… and tints yO! I avg about 50mi a day… no problems. Even with hard driving. ![http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Truck/mud14.jpg](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y9/JACK1992VR4/Truck/mud14.jpg) When you come to get it, it probably won’t be stuck in a field, but I can’t make any promises. ---
