I want to tow a 3500lb 4850lbs funrunner toy hauler trailer with my 2006 2500 which has 200k miles on it. We wont be adding much weight to the trailer, maybe 300-400lbs. No water or sewage to carry, small propane tanks only.
Before I start towing, I will finish my sprinter "refit". Tranny parts up to date (conductor plate, plug housing, a couple of tweaks to the valve body). Updated idlers, tensioner belt, alternator. All suspension and steering components have recently been done, etc.
I have read a lot of posts about guys hauling 5000lbs trailers all all over the country - no problem. But when I look at this thing - ay carumba - really?
Of course I will take it easy. Stay away from overdrive, not try to pass anyone on a hill into the wind.
But, really, can my old sprinter really tow this thing from Seattle to Phoenix?
