Has anybody towed a 1600 lbs travel trailer behind their Bronco 2? My Bronco has a 2.9L, FM146 trans and a 3.45 rear end and I am wondering if it can tow it. I am looking at buying this trailer on Craigs List.

actually funny you guys say that. my 88 has the FM146, 3.45 gears, 255/60/17's and I've pulled as much as 4200lbs with it (6x12 U-haul) from albuquerque, NM to ft polk, LA cruising between 60-70mph in 4th the whole way. I also frequently tow a boat with it that is probably close to 2000lbs total. Truck has CAI, full exhaust, 58mm TB, 12* BTDC and Amsoil.
when I did the 4200lb pull it had the stock radiator. I have an explorer radiator in it now. Pulled fine really, I was suprised. Averaged about 14-16mpg on that trip. With my boat its almost not even there and I get 18ish.

I've been looking at putting a bigger radiator to replace the 1 core.What year and size Explorer radiator did you put in your Bronco?
