I have a 92, V6, 5 Speed, CC with 3.55 SG rear. I pull a 27 ft popup camper with
it. The camper weighs about 2500 lbs loaded up. Then I fill the bed with the
rest of the gear and toys we need. I have a 5 yr old and a 1 yr old so we have
quite a few toys to bring. The suspension is stock with upgraded shocks. (that
probably should be replaced) The truck pulls the camper great. I go to the
Adirondacks a couple times a year and other places during the summer and never
have a problem. The shortest distance I've gone with the camper has been about
100 miles one way.
