    I don't believe this is the place to be asking that question but I don't think it will be a good pull after you have weighed it all down and whatnot. I'd say no but there are a lot of factors that haven't been mentioned yet.

    Towed this down from Indianapolis, IN to Tallahassee, FL.

    I was getting between 11-14 MPG depending on the elevation changes. I only saw about 1-2 MPG difference with the car on the trailer than when the trailer was empty.The truck pulled great and on level flat ground, you would never even know it was there.

    What was the total weight and any swaying problems?

    I didn't get a total weight but the car weighs 3,600 pounds and the trailer was all steel so I'm guessing 1,500-2,000 pounds. Ballpark was around 5,000-5,500 pounds and it tracked straight as an arrow. I drove through all of that snowy/ rain and high wind shit that just went through the midwest and southeast with relative ease.
    I was definitely impressed with how well it towed. I even had to do a little off roading in some really wet grass/ mud with the trailer and car. I put it in 4 low and it was cake.

    That truck sure does look good with that trailer and corvette behind it. I bet that extra long wheel base helped out too.

    Thanks! Yeah, I wanted the longbed to haul my dirtbike in. I figured if I needed to tow it certainly wouldn't hurt at all. When I say I was blown away by how well it pulled, it did the job much better than I had expected.

    Here it is hitched up just after bringing it home. Truck knows its back there but pulls no problem. However I think I'm going to get airbags to make it a little easier on the suspension.
