Ok guys and gals, its been a while since i came to you all with a question. Partially due to very important personal reasons, and mostly due to laziness.
But now im in a dilemma. I have a 07 YFZ 450 which will be in the bed of my 99 ranger 2wd 3.0, STD cab, long bed. And i will be pulling an average sized pop-up trailer. The quad weighs roughly 370 lbs., and the trailer tounge weight is somewhere around 200-250 lbs. Its has a class III hitch to pull with. My question (keep in mind i havent tested out the drop in the back end yet) is, will i have to beef up my rear suspension to pull this camper with my quad in the back? I'm not concerned with long term damage, i dont plan on having the truck much longer. I'm looking at a 98 F250 4x4 7.3L Turbo diesel...(i need a full size...in the worst way)
its roughly 60 miles each way (mostly highway)..and im on a real tight budget
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Tommy
