Although, it is not optimal it works for the 100 miles to the lake, I pull my J with 1996 dodge 1500 5.2 engine, doesn't like hills. I can travel comfortable at 60mph. The trailer is a sailor trailer, that I had modified to fit the J30. It is rated for 10,000lbs I think.

I have used an f-250 and f-350. Both fine, but the f-350 w/ a diesel is what i have now and is enough power. I have a 3 axle trailer, a little big but works fine.

Luke, I have an old 2000 F-350 diesel. Works great. If you thinking of towing Evelyn to the CPYC NAs give me a call. John McArthur CELL 203-253-1686

Luke,
For Fuzzy Wuzzy we use a dual axle (Tor-flex) Triad with 8 supports and a Suburban with the 6 l engine, HD transmission, suspension and rear axle. Total max combined weight is 16,000# - just on the fence - towing is no problem hills or not - we get about 9 mpg.
For long distance towing I would go with a diesel truck.
