I"m looking for a good used Dodge 1500 truck. I"ve got a 1995 Chevy S-10 and I"m wanting to upgrade. I"ve been looking at a 2004 Dodge 1500, has the 4.7 liter V-8 engine, 4 wheel drive, automatic, quad cab, short bed, white, has almost 44,000 miles, has good tires. If I take the truck, it will have a towing package included in the deal. Most of the time, I"ll be pulling a 6 1/2 by 12 single axle trailer with probably 3 Cub Cadets on it. My grandfather has a double axle trailer that weighs about 2,000 pounds that I could pull if the truck will handle it. I"m wanting to know if I could pull this trailer with a Farmall H on it? I figure an H weighs around 4 to 4,500 pounds. Dodge literature says for a truck like this, maximum payload is 1,530 pounds and maximum trailer weight is 7, 150 pounds. Also says the 4.7 V-8 has 235hp @4,400 rpm and 300 pounds-ft @ 3,500 rpm. The Dodge guy I"m dealing with says the truck will handle it with no problem. I would mostly be pulling it on two lane roads with some hills. Where I mainly haul to there is two good size hills between home and there. If I can pull grandfathers trailer okay, I can haul 7 Cub Cadets on it. Might also haul my McCormick Deering W-4 or my JD B on it. Probably won"t pull the bigger tractors around with it very much. I"m just not sure if the 4.7 V-8 will pull it with no problems or if I should wait and find a truck like this with the 5.7 liter V-8. Hopefully someone has a truck like this that pulls a trailer with tractors. Thanks in advance.
