Congrats, Scott! That does sound like a sharp truck. :-)
I tow a 22' enclosed trailer which weighs aabout 3400lbs when its empty.
No problems whatsoever. ('96 CC 5-speed, 3.55 rear) The only thing I
sort've have to watch for is the wind. But since you're going to be
pulling an open trailer, that shouldn't be as much of an issue. As long
as you've got trailer brakes, you should be OK.
(I was looking for another Dak to tow my Dak to the track for a long
time, but since I wanted to use my enclosed trailer, I ended up with a
Ram.) That's gonna look pretty darn cool when you're toolin' down the
highway! :-)
