Towing?

[camslambam]

Hey guys. I got me a 06 QC. In Nov. we have some regional drag in Costa Rica. It's about an 8+ hour drive from Panama. I'm thinking of taking my 5th gen. Should the Ram be fine to tow it all the way? I know the capacity is 7k. The 5th gen weighs around 4k, but when all is said and done, I think for racing it will be down to about 37xx lbs. I'd have tools, extra wheels, and probably 1-2 passengers.

Thanks guys for opinion.

I'd do it and have done it, but your 48RE POS tranny might argue when all is said and done. :chain: Add the weight of the trailer to your Badass Camaro equation as well and you'll be up to about 6000:dontknow:

I recently hauled my Full Size Jeep J10 on a U-Haul trailer about 340 miles (one way) for an off road weekend.
My 2005 RC pulled it just fine; total weight of the Jeep & trailer was ~6600 lbs.

Awesome! Guess I'll go for it. I have the auto trans so lets hope it doesn't grenade!

We need more pictures of the Camaro before we can made an informed recommendation

lol, just your typical maggie cammed meth geared suspension built 5th gen. Currently at 8psi, now we are going to push 12psi, hoping to be near 700rwhp/700rwtq, meth not tuned for power. With some creative weight reduction techniques I'm hoping low 10s. As soon as I get can a stroker and built trans in it I'm going to throw a 150 shot.:rock: I got the skinnies but since the car is used for street racing 98% of time I don't like rolling around on them.

I am not a fan of new Camaros in general, but I am definitely a fan of yours. That is a sweet car!!

Thanks man! I think it's the fastest 5th gen in Central America. Just impossible to get these cars to hook and their weight hurts them in 1/4!

awesome car bro!! Just be easy on that tranny and im sure you will be fine. Biggest issue is gonna be heat. Id let it cool down for a bit maybe half way there and check the fluid. add a bottle of lucas to it also

Lol. Thanks guys. Just my little pet project. Trying to make the truck quick also to surprise people but with ****ty fuel and no ability to truly data log the engine, I am scared I may blow it if I stick spray on it.
