Default Towing with a minivan



yes, you should add a transmission cooler, and the Windstar should tow
ok, but front wheel drive isn't really recommended for pulling away
from a ramp, especially a steep one.

I am considering purchasing an '06 175, which when on a trailer with
gas will come in at about 2,400 lbs. My Windstar has a towing capacity
of 2,000 lbs. As I will be using the boat at a ramp about 3 miles
away, do I run the risk of fishing my van out of the river?
Thank you.
