Just curious as to what everyone's experiences have been with
towing... I know that a good full size 4x4 pickup truck is ideal,
however, for those of us with toy trucks (smaller 2x4's) there could
be some issues...

I have a 1995 Plymouth Voyager mini-van with the 3.0 liter engine
(142 hp) and a 3 speed auto transmission.
My Sandpiper 565 sailboat weighs about 1400 sails & all and the trailer
must weigh 300 to 400 lbs. My owner book says my van can tow 2000 lbs
but I must have brakes on the trailer if the towed load exceeds 1000
lbs. I had a transmission cooler installed and will tow very carefully
at about 90 kph until I get a better vehicle.
