Hey, Al...

<> You would have no trouble at all. I pulled some bodacious trailers with
my 98 5.2 2WD<>.

<> Agreed. U-Haul severely underrates the Dakota - they always have.<>

I'll chime in here, too...I went to an "Indy" truck parts dealer & had no
problem getting a Putnam Class III hitch for the DAKSY...
Took me less than an hour to install, & the 31 x 10.5 spare fit right
in...the 32s on the other hand DON'T fit...
I've pulled, like Rascal, a TON of building materials on a trailer behind my
V-6 - without any problems with the DAK...I've flattened a couple of trailer
tires, but whaddy ya want from a $200 Chinese trailer?
I'd get a second opinion, go to a different U-Haul dealer, or find a local
guy who carries the Putnam product line...
