I'm going to purchase a 1992 Ford Bronco 4x4.

Now i was going to rent those Uhaul car transport. But I can reserve it because it says my Trailblazer EXT 4x4 won't work.

Now the Bronco weights 5000 lbs. I thought our trucks can tow about 6500lbs?

I'm going to be traveling in CA up the grapevine to los angeles, about 100 miles.

Now I need to know if my truck can handle it and i'll be safe. Thanks!

U hauls trailers weigh something ungodly... like 2210 pounds. You have to add that weight to it. It would be too much.

incidently, depending on the gearing of your truck, its tow capacity is 4800 to 5800 lbs.

Maybe someone with more experience can chime in. but the trailer itself weighs about 2200lbs. Add in the veh. weight of ~5000lbs and you're at ~7200lbs. ~700lbs over the limit. I wouldn't recommened towing more than what's safely recommended.

Sounds like you need to go rent/borrow something with a Diesel.

:iagree:However when the roadie broke down and a couple of our members went and fetched him they made it safely but I still wouldn't risk it, personally.:tiphat
