Default Can I tow with my truck?

Since I have no experience with Turbos, I wanted to know if I can tow a horse-cattle trailer with the truck in my signature?
Thanks!

As long as you have a good trans cooler I don't see why not. I used to pull a 4,500lb boat with mine every weekend with a looser converter. I would just take it easy and only let it make 4-5psi of boost on hill climbs which was more than enough. I had the converter locked most of the time as well

Keep an eye on your trans and coolant temp. Also don't stay in boost for too long pulling hills and what not as you can build a lot of heat.
