I Am About To Make A Move From La County To Apache Junction Arizona.but I Need My Old Restoration Project With Me.i Have A 1999 Ranger Xlt Super Cab 4dr, 3 Point Slow, Auto 4speed, 4.56 Rear End, 6inch Lift And 33in Tires.it Weighs 3800#.can It Tow My Amc Rebel(3600#) Plus A Trailer And About 1000# Of Other Crap? And The Speed On I10 Is 75mph,can I Stay At That Speed?
 
Thats to much. A truck , trailer, and a loaded bed is just asking for trouble. Individually, yes it can tow the truck or the trailer with bed loaded but not both at once.
 
what if i use a tow dolly and not a trailer?
 
I'm not going to tell you what your truck can do. I'm going to tell you what I did with my truck...

From Tuscon to Chicago, I pulled a loaded double axle Uhaul trailer, had to weight at least 3,000lbs, maybe 4,000(I didn't weigh it, but it was fairly loaded). In the bed of the truck, I had my bike(550lbs dry), an engine(about 200lbs), and some other stuff. The truck did it, but I definetaly felt it. And I gave myself plenty of stopping room. It wasn't a whole lot of fun though, and I'm pretty sure the headgaskets were NOT in top condition when I started that trip either. And my truck is a '92 3.0 5spd 3.73 2wd.
 
You don't have enough brakes, and with a lift and big tires you lose sway resistance.

Towing would be very dangerous.
 
yea im not guna do it.just went out and towed by bros xploder,it did fine until i hit the grade and it became a turd.so ill just have a buddy tow it there. but brakes were never a concern cause the trailer or tow dolly both have 10in electric brakes. but thanks anyway.
 
Have you been to AJ? Why Would you move there? Sorry
