In a couple months i will be needing to tow a 49 ford F-1 from washington to Kansas. The f150 is a 97, 4.6 v8, 3.55 gears, 4x4, extened cab. I will be using an 18' flatbed double axle trailer for the F-1. The F-1's bed is rusted out so that will stay in WA along with the fuel tank and stuff that we know will be replaced. The f150 is rated to tow 6600lbs and is in perfect condition with 65,000 miles. the final weight of the trailer will be near 5500-6000lbs. I have towed before but never this far with this much weight through the rockies. Is there anything I should beware of or does this sound like a safe setup?
PS if you know of any steep passes i should avoid between Bellingham WA and Kansas City that would be helpful
