Default towing new boat

I have a chevy blazer 4 door 4.3l V6. I have a class 3 hitch on it. I
am going to tow a boat with trailer and pneumatic brakes to my house in
PA from Baltimore city. Then I will tow it to a farm close to lake
raystown, about 5-10 miles. Is this Blazer enough? I have heard the
V6 will do it, but it may be a bit slow (40-45 miles) on hills, but
would not hurt transmission and blazer. Any suggestions?




Pneumatic brakes?? I don't think a Blazer is going to have air for trailer
brakes. Maybe there are there electric over air brakes, but I have not seen
any, only electic over hydrolic.

Good luck! Dan



I assumed he meant surge hydraulic brakes on the trailer, but that's
just a guess.
