Default Re: towing V20 w/explorer

I have never thought about the tow vechile??? I just hook up and go!! ::)
Of coarse I have always had a monster of a truck any way!!
My Ford F150 with a Triton V8, is the smallest tow vechile I have ever owned!

And the last 2 including this one has tranny cooler and engin oil cooler. I change all fluides all the time!! I do the oil and filter every 3000 miles and I have the tranny fluid and screen done evey spring. Maybe a bit over kill on the tranny but its cheap!
And never never tow in OD (over drive) You can burn out a tranny real fast!!

But you guys with a smaller truck really need to keep a eye on things!! Don't take much for things to heat up on a 80* afternoon in Cape traffic!!
Also I never tow with the Air on!! Just more of a strain!!
