Dave,
If you do good care things like:
Don't let the thing get drasticly overheated going up long hills at =
too
high (5,000 +) RPM with no breaks,
Change the oil & filter every 3,000 miles or so,
Make sure it's got good oil & coolant,
Then you should be able to tow just about anything you can hook up =
to and
move with:
I have loaded ~2,000 lbs of stuff inside my westy Syncro, and towed =
a
Suzuki Sidekick from east Tennessee to western Colorado - crossing =
mountains up
to 12,000 ft plus - crossing Kansas bucking 25 mph+ headwinds - several
times.
No ill effects except that gas mileage isn't too great, and it does =
take a
bit longer to get where I'm going!
Now I do take it easy, watch my temperature and try to make it as =
easy on
the vehicles as possible.
I'm a little over 220,000 miles on the vehicle so far.
