I have had my rig so loaded down that the rear tires where almost touching the fenders.. Still was able to keep up with traffic.. Might be why my ass end is so saggy

 

All im sayin is that i no MY 3.0 could do it. it wouldent like it but shell do it for ya. When i was flyin down 80 i hade no weight in my truck cept for a bed box. I did need help from a grade.As GV sid my buddy pulls his 8x12 scapin trailer behind his stock ass 87 22r. only when the chevy is down(Quite often ha) BUt they will pull and they will romp around in the mud after. i hear alota people talkin crap about my truck cuz im just about the only yota in the club and with everone i no american all the way.

 

I've got a stock 22r and was still able to pull a old-ass 2-ton pepsi vending trailer out of a sand pit that the guy with the silverado got it stuck in... The 3.0 is over a half a liter bigger than that and fuel injected... get one with a 5-speed (like my a friend of mine has and I've driven) and it's really not that bad... not the best, but not all that bad

 

I know I'll get scolded for this, but I tow my 98 Malibu Sunsetter with my 3vze, and it's got 265K miles! It's even an auto-magic. It's not the fastest thing out there, but it gets the job done. Very well, I might add.

The only things I've done for towing are a tranny cooler, Downey springs, and Bilsteins. It's going in for a rebuild this winter and Weasy's cams will be added
