of course it would. the 1500 has the same motor and tranny also. the only problem towing this truck is the back end may sag causing the frt to raise and have alittle trouble with sterring. towing is not the issue. no problem. i haul 3 tons of wood stove pellets with my 05 cc. just leave yourself some extra braking room

I wouldn't want to pull it long distance or often. It would be a good ideal to have some kind of break control on that trailer. Take your time and allow plenty of room for stopping. Take it out and get feel for the trailer I've seen some start getting squarely at higher speeds, if that trailer starts swerving back and forth it will drag your truck off the road. Check the tires on the trailer make sure they're inflated properly and not dry rotted, save yourself a lot of hassle or worse an accident.

oh heck yeah we could pull that, just...yeah i agree with superdak, I wouldn't want to do it very long because of a sagging back...unless we go better shocks...i guess that would help yeah?

Did it break down? Figures, it's a FORD built with FORD quality. I'm thinking that it would, but I wouldn't want to.

its a 79 bronco on 44's. the trailer is safe and dont swerve, that pic was taken on our way back home, we decided to pull it with an e350 but I was wondering what you guys thought because we where going to pull it with dakota if we couldnt borrow the van. the bronco is not street legal and that is one reason it stays on a trailer (open headers, lights too high, bumpers, no turn signals, no dash, 1 taillight) the second reason is we just exploded the 9" rear, the 351C is still running good
