Hello,

I am considering purchasing a built C10 pickup to cruise around in/romp on/ and tow my drift car to events ~2-3 hours away. Car and trailer weight 5500 lbs.

Looking for advice on how well this truck would tow. It is 3.5 hours away and needs to have some carb/ignition tuning issues ironed out.


Description for truck:

C10. Iron block 6.0 rebuilt engine 450+ HP- comps cam xr275hr cam, new lifters, hardened pushrods, beehive valve springs, comps cam rocker trunion kit, high volume oil pump, edelbrock intake/ignition controller, new street avenger 770 carb. 4l80e Jakes performance 750hp rebuild and full manual kit, Hughes 2500 stall converter, tci rachet shifter. 12 bolt with 340 gears. Runs and drives great. New tires, bed cover




I am i nuts?

 

With a good hitch, I think it would tow fairly well. Those are a little harder to integrate trailer brakes on, but not impossible.

 

It'll have the power! But it will handle wierd. All that weight on a swb will nake it sway more than towing with a longer truck. Airbags in the rear would help, as well as a sway bar
