    haha! it would probably be able to tow great! lol 8.4L and 600hp and 560lbs of tq would tow better then any superduty pickup! haha

    I know the 4cyl can tow it, it turns out people are towing over 4k lbs with their 4cyl regular cab, i just have not yet tried it.

    What year is your Viper? I had a 93 and an 03. Both are now gone, but they are a blast to drive.

    Very nice, I bought one of the very first RT-10's off the line in 1992 and I loved that thing. I even won best in show at several car shows with it. Then they came out with the SRT-10 in 03 and I couldn't hold back from it.

    Both of mine were convertibles (the 93 was more of a targa top) and both were completely stock. But that Coupe is stunning! The black rims and window tint really look great. Nice choice on the color, mine were red as well. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures of them.

    I agree your going to be way over weight you say the car is 3,300lb most trails (good ones at least) are About 1,000lb so that puts you at 4,300lb and your truck is rated for only 3,500lb

    I put the class 3 hitch on my reg cab and do tow boats with it usually no bigger than 21 ft it does ok I just make sure I take it easy it pulls boats out of the ramp as smooth as silk then I just take it easy usually only tow boats 10 to 15 miles at most and the truck has far exceeded my expectations I wouldnt recommend towing over 65 mph with that kinda weight and I'd keep a good safe following distance but I would definitely say the truck should be able to handle it fine your just gonna have to hook it up and take it down the road to see how it feels

    Got a Supra? Anyone want it? Gimme you're Tacoma
    Uh, that viper is gorgeous, I wouldn't chance it. You could probably get a newer v-6 for a better "track truck" pack all the tools you want in there etc. and have the balls and stopping power to take care of the car. Amazing car ugh.
