Well, there is someone with the heaviest coach ('78 Royal, 12,500) towing a
7500 pound trailer, granted, he does have the 3.70, and is thinking about
the 4.10 now that it's available. So, it can be done. I've not heard of
final drive or other concerns (temp of engine, transmission, both could be
issues, and of course, stopping, and stupid gets that much more expensive
;-)

I assume Applied knows what they are doing, unlike me. That carrier, a
motorcycle, and a modest trailer are all I feel any need for.
