Well towed for the 1st time with my '92 W250

Hey all,

I have only been here for a little while.. but this past weekend was the 1st time I towed with Dodge and man did it do awesome...

I was around 12,000lbs or more and had no problems at all..

I was towing my XJ that I wheel in the trails.. on my Car Trailer that I built and I had no problems saying with my buddy in his '05 F-350....

Now I understand why once you go Diesel you will never go back to Gas

that is great. i find myself driving my 92 more than my 99 lol. I guess its just loving the ol girl and the ruggedness. Its nice looking over and smiling knowing its paid for. Although my 99 isnt** oh well.

drop in some bigger sticks, turn up the pump and your buddy won't be able to keep up with you (until you cook the tranny ) ... Nice jeep here are my play toys.

Nice XJ, but are you sure about the 12,000 lbs? I would have guessed a lot less than that. Maybe around 7 or 8 max.

I think he means TOTAL weight.

The truck looks great Bruiser! Sometimes I wish I had bought a 1st Gen instead of the 3rd Gen. Because being paid for would be soooo nice!

Ahh, ok. That make a lot more sense.

I towed for the first time this weekend. Pulling a similar trailer with an old truck on it, probably around 6500 or 7000lbs.
Man, can these things pull!
