Now worries from the engine. She's stock as can be and she pulled the trailer
just fine(a lot of that praise should go to the 5-speed -thank god for low
gearing). It's just a matter of stopping that had me worried ;) Seriously
though, I was hauling a really heavy load. There were over 10K people at this
campout and of all the trucks we were admiring as they pulled out Sunday
morning, the only things I saw pulling loads heavy as mine were duelly
diesels, an F-250 longbed 4x4, and 2 k1500 4X4s. I WAS pulling more than I
felt safe, but it's nice to know I can if I have to :)

Mike:
Depending upon options, a Dak can pull up to 6,900lbs. The V6 is somewhat less. Hopefully you have the trailer tow package (bigger rad, class 3 hitch etc.) and trailer brakes. Shouldn't be any problem if you take it easy and don't overheat.
