So im getting paid pretty well to do this for a buddy. I will be towing his car from Providence to Englishtown NJ. The car is a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4. The Trailer is from Uhaul. I was wonder if the Ranger is up for the task?

 

knowing the weight of the car and trailer is an important thing to know when your planning to pull that much weight.

 

tow dolly or full drive up?

 

full drive up. car is 2740lbs

 

I would think that it will be fine. I think those full trailers are like 2000lbs.

Assuming you're a 4.0 with an auto you should be able to tow just under 6000 lbs

 

4.0 XCAL 3 and yes auto

 

I think those Uhaul trailer brakes suck, but otherwise you should be good (if Uhaul lets you rent that size trailer with a Ford Ranger.)

 

They let me take one, but they were kinda skeptical.

 

i tried earlier and couldnt get one with the ranger. i am going with my friend tomorrow in his PSD. then just hook it up to the ranger

 

Don't forget to turn O/D off.

 

i flat-towed a dead neon home about 15 miles last week with no problems, as long as youve got good brakes and working trailer brakes i wouldnt sweat it.
