Shoot. During times of desperation I've pulled my enclosed Haulmark with Lil Red (approx 7500 lbs with the car in the trailer). But - I would not recommend this, as the truck is a V6/manual trans, which made it a bit balky.



...but this is how we rolled back in the day (every weekend). Car + trailer + stuff is about 5000 lbs.



Nooooo problem. In fact, this is the rig I used when we moved from Detroit to Phoenix in 1990.
