    What do you tow your 80 with?

    Damn @Feldrian maybe you had your answer all along... I looked at my brochure and the payload isn't too bad on the 97' 80. You could have popped the top on the Lexus and done a camper conversion and towed the Lexus and kept the GS... 1600lbs is 3/4 ton payload territory in some cases. These...

    What do you tow your 80 with?

    It's crazy how many people see a commercial with a manufacture claiming max tow and payload numbers and think they can go get a fully loaded crew cab and do the same thing. There should be some liability there somewhere but at some point thee needs to be a little common sense used by the people...

    What do you tow your 80 with?

    I don't want to fixate on Ford but have looked into it a lot recently. No way a 1/2 ton would tow that for a 1000 mile trip comfortably or any 1/2 on for that matter. The TTV6 is amazing but, just not enough truck(frame/ brakes and so on) for the weight. That drive would be miserable IMO and you...

    What do you tow your 80 with?

    BTW, if you didn’t see me mention payload about 10 times :lol: they magic yellow sticker will be inside the driver side door if not familiar with them. That’s your number. Ford dealers have a cool kiosk you can key in your vin and it will calculate it all for you. Walk right past sales. They...

    What do you tow your 80 with?

    I would suggest finding a trailer that works for you first then load it or total the weight and plan on much more weight. Tongue weight is typically 15% of the trailer on average. Why start here? It’s all about payload on a tow vehicle. You’ll see ford claim 13,000 lbs tow capacity on their...
