I've hardly ever used a 4WD vehicle for towing. I'm not hauling a real
heavy load (about 2,500 Lbs with a 17 Ft. Galaxie I/O). Tried a small
Toyota pickup at first but the back end was too lignt (scary braking it).
Then went to a '66 Dodge with a 318 CI. Towed great! Now, I'm using
a Toyota T100 w/manual transmission (automatic is better due to
torque amplification). No problelms.
