I've reviewed a lot of the towing threads I've found using the search tool, and as embarassing as it is to admit it, I feel like my questions might be, ah, less informed. Thusly I begin this thread with the word "newbie" in the title.
I'd like to move about 2500 pounds on a flatbed trailer [ with trailer breaks ], and approximately 500 pounds just behind the rear axle. Another 500 pounds in passengers forward of the rear axle. It seems obvious (and has been iterated here), that I need to equip the vehicle with a tranny cooler and a heavy-duty radiator.
The vehicle is equipped with an AW4 tranny. She's geared at 3.73. '93 Country w/o the tow package.
The thing is, I'm looking at around 2000 miles here -- crossing half the continent. Is this just plain stupid, or manageable with care and precaution? Lots of flatness, but will be passing through CO, and thusly, the Rockies. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if I left out important details, please let me know and I'll fill them in.
Thanks in advance!
