Found a good truck for a great price just wondering if it will hold up for towing cars.

truck is 92 ford 3/4 ton 6 cylinder 5 spd,
168 000 km business owned.


what do you guys think?

Check the manual. It will tell you its towing capacity. I had a 2001 Ford Sport Trac and it OWNED.

I'm sure if I can pull a John deere 640 skidder or and buldozer on a tandem axle flat bed behind my S-10 w/2.8 V6/ 5 sp for 10 years a 3/4 ton truck could haul a little car.

It'll tow alright, but if you're towing a lot, I would imagine you'd regret the 6cylinder.

get an 8 cyl truck. If you're worried about the cost of gas and consumption, a v6 will burn just as much if not more towing - it has to work a lot harder than the 8. This summer we towed a couple of boats around quite a bit, one car was a pathfinder with the v6 and the other was an chevy with a v8.. The chevy burned less gas when towing on the highway and had an easier time with hills.

The Ford inline 6 is a hell of an engine. It's bulletproof and quite torquey for its size. It will also get 28mpg in the 1/2 ton configuration.

That being said, if you're gonna use it to tow primarily, you might want an 8 or a diesel.

I use a 95 GMC 1500 4x4 V6 AUTO to tow all my cars on a twin axle car trailer. Ive had some heavy cars on there and its worked out fine. It was a little short on power but maintained highway speed.
