Re: Can my V-8 Dakota pull open car trailer?
Pulling may not be as hard as stopping.Doesn't take much to push a lighter truck.I think you'll want real good trailer brakes. Ken

Re: Can my V-8 Dakota pull open car trailer?
Very good point!!! My car on the sled can push the F150 around, that's when I know I didn't reset the brake controller from when I pulled the sled empty.

Re: Can my V-8 Dakota pull open car trailer?
Brakes are a must with any trailer.We always used to say...Up hills slow,down hills fast,tonnage first,saftey last....But seriously,be careful.It's no fun when you see your trailer in the lane to the right then to the left....

Re: Can my V-8 Dakota pull open car trailer?
You may want to consider using a equalizer hitch like used on travel trailers,they work great.Go to any good trailer hitch sales place to see a setup.I purchased one for 280.00 installed and it makes a big difference,it levels the truck and trailer equally.
