Towing Specs for Used Trucks?
Looking for a resource that lists, among other things, towing specs for
used trucks or larger SUVs... I've tried KBB and one or two other suchlikes, but no luck. I'm looking for a decent mid 1990s vehicle that can tow 8000 pounds on a trailer fairly short distances...maybe 25 miles one way. I know about Chevy Suburbans...but I'd really prefer an older pick-me-up. Might anyone suggest an on-line site that displays these capacities? Thanks! |

I found this years ago when I was getting my third F-350 diesel. All the othe sites I had archived have disappeared into the Lost Terrority of Cyberspace. http://www.swcp.com/pcaskey/ford-towing.html Minimum would be something in the 250/2500 class, best would be in the 350/3500 class. I'll keep looking. Later, Tom S. Woodstock, CT ----------- "Do fishermen eat avocados? This is a question that no one ever thinks to ask." Russel Chatham, "Dark Waters" (1988) |

I don't tow my Parker far or often, and, at the moment, I am almost truckless. I do have use for a pickup for the farm and yard and for the occasional "tow job," but I certainly do not need a new, $40,000 pick-me-up truck. |

What the hell - you only live once and it's only money. :) Just guessing but a good pickup in that class will run in the vicinity of 10/13 grand. If it's only to occasionally tow, look around for an older Ford or Chevy - one with one of those big block 500+ CUI engines. ;) One of the best F-350s I've ever owned had the 564 CUI engine in it. Talk about a gas hog - twin 650 CFM four barrel Holleys and when all eight carb barrels opened up you could actually watch the gas gage go down. Ok, slight exaggeration, but still. :) Talk about tow power - that truck pulled a stump out of the ground in back of my barn in one shot. And it weren't no small stump either - I thought I was going to have to borrow a dozer from the farmer down the road. Later, Tom S. Woodstock, CT ----------- "Do fishermen eat avocados?

Just guessing but a good pickup in that class will run in the vicinity of 10/13 grand. That's what I'm looking for, price-wise. I know of a Cadillac Escalade pickup truck auction coming up soon. It's a little light in the tow capacity, but not much, and for reasons I won't go into here, the price may be right. We'll see. |
