I have a chance to get a killer deal on a 99' 2wd dakota, 318 and 5 speed. Will my truck SAFELY pull the 99'? My truck is equiped with the 3.9, automatic, 3.55 gears and is 4 wheel drive (which I know really dosent matter much) I am going to be building a prerunner out of it, and hauling around to play with, if it is possible to do. Anything I should watch for? I am used to hauling gooseneck trailers when hauling cattle, and the tractors around, but the farm truck is just that, a farm truck, and stays at the farm, I have never hauled anything considerable with a mid size truck.

 

u'll prolly be fine these trucks don't weigh that much, y not pull ur truck with the 99 lol
ur truck is rated to tow 5800lb the dak weighs around 2 tons

 

pre run the 3.9!!!!! =P

 

Uh, Drive the truck home?

Also, prerun the 3.9.

 

prerunning the 3.9 had already crossed my mind, but naturally the wife had to step in and snubbed out that dream!

 

Time to step in, and stub out that wife.

 

Dont forget to add the weight of the trailer.

 

just rent one of the ones that sits under the front tires weigh like 200lb

if the truck runs have a buddy drive urs home, so u can have some fun with the v8

 

I say drive the truck home
