Towing with a 90 Pickup? Will it do it?

[sapperk]

I have a 1990 Toyota Pickup V6 in not to good of condition. I am moving from MO to WA 2100 miles. Do you think my pickup would be able to tow my 96 Celica GT the whole way. I plan on driving about 400 miles a day.

no,but i must ask is your trailer or whatever you are using have its own source of brakes,if then you may stand a chance but still i would not

No i dont, i was going to use a Uhaul Car dolley. Why would it not do it, Power or What?

no no no no no no no no no please dont use screw me haul.#1 those trailers have structual problems at the tounge,#the just suck#the just such again.the only way to haul is penskey or however you spell it . yes the trailer you are pulling should have its own electric brakes,which is tyed in the your wiring on your hitch.please dont take me wrong i just dont want you to get hurt. at least 2 members here on mud lost the rig they where towing,and the rig that was doing the towing due to uhaul trailers.

I have towed a number of things with my 89 pickup including a 1971 Mach 1 across two states as well as a fully built jeep on a flatbed trailer across two states. It did the mach 1 better by far. I could still use 5th gear for most of the time. The jeep on the other hand meant 4th gear.

Yes your V6 will pull a car on a tow dollie.

HOWEVER, What state is you'r motor in?

OLD reliable?....or..OH c#ap, I think I can......I think I can.......

Bearing's about to fall out, NO cam journals???

Do you even have a tranns, if so....auto?

THAT!!!! is the question only you, can answer.

I'm assuming

4x4, Better chassis to tow with.


V6, only becouse it's only marginaly better than 4.

5sp, better control and I rather pull with a manual.

Am I a mind reader? No, I just play one on TV
