Re:Suggestions for a good beater truck for towing...
 

*story,

a guy at the track has an old chevy van, similar to that one, he pulls a honda with a full tool box in the back of the van. he says its not fast, but it pulls, so thats the idea right?

pretty much anything over a 1/4 ton will pull a 3000lb car.

U-haul would agrue with you about that. They refused to rent me a car hauler because my S10 wasn't capable of towing a vehicle, even if it was a 2000lb. Honda Civic. :-\ I'm calling bullshit on that one, but whatever. ::)

u-haul is gay. they said my father-in-laws F-350 diesel wouldn't pull a 3000lb truck to. so yeah, the BS flag is thrown on uhaul.

Seriously? That truck would haul mountains. My roommate had one that would rip the ------- road off the face of the earth with the proper traction. :-\ What other truck has more towing capability? ???

LOL!!! ;D

guys I was also suggested by some others to look into some 1st gen Dodge Dakotas:
"Also dont forget the Dakota's, They pretty much have 1/2 to 3/4 ton drivetrains on them, and the 46re (tranny) and optional 3.92's (rearend) make it quite a nice little rig and you can pick them up cheap (first gen)."

sounds decent too huh?...thanks for all the ideas, I think I have enough to go on, now to make a choice.
