towing ability
greetings,
im new here. i have a '99 laramie slt 1500 quad cab. it has a 5.9 and 3:55 transmission. i do not have the owners manual. can anyone tell me what the towing capacity is? i dont know what abuse the previous owner put it through,but you can tell there was a ball on the bumper. i bought it in march 2012 with only 90k miles on it, that was the big selling point for me. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Tow rating depends on more than whether or not you did it. I put a live rim fire .22 cartrige in a waad of silly putty and bounced on the floor...Just because I did it and lived doesn't mean everyone should.
Pay atttention to the ratings of the tires on the tow vehicle...To really tow anything more than golf cart you you need E rated tires pumped up to 70-80 psi.
Do it right, or don't do it....You're not the only one on the road.

when i was about 12 years old, my next door neighbor, Stanley Millwood, used to hold .22 shells in a pair of pliers and hit the primer with a hammer. they'd go off and throw a bullet somewhere. Later on at about 14-15 he was a holy-mother-****ing terror in school, and quit at about 15. I wonder if he's still alive today?
