Next weekend I'm headed down to Moab to do some rock crawlin' with a few friends in our Toyota pickups
My plan is to put two Toyota trucks on one trailer (goose neck) and pull it across the state and back with my non turbo 86 F250 . I'm quessing (I'm going to find out for sure before we leave...) that we will be pulling around 10,000 lbs. 3800-4000 lbs. for both trucks plus the weight of a 35 foot trailer.
For starters is this weight going to kill my truck?!? and what advise/recomendations can you give me before I hit the road? I have an aftermarket coolant temp guage, pyrometer, brake controller, really annoying strait pipe, 3.55 gears in synthetic oil--other than that the truck is mostly stock.
Also (assuming that I can get up to speed ) what is the best RPM range for fuel milage? I've never pulled a load like this with anything but a newer Dodge Cummins or GM 6.5 Turbo so any feedback would be greatly appreciated
