Will the jetskis still be in the bed of the truck when you pick up the Dart?
If so, it is quite likely that you will exceed the GVWR for your truck. My
recommendation is a very strong DON"T DO IT. Do not exceed the GVWR. You
will be sorry in the long run. I tow plenty of utility trailers, boats, even
a car trailer on occasion. When you put the Dart on the trailer, and start
climbing grades, your transmission will be hurtin' for certain. While towing
with the O.D. off will keep the R's up in third gear, if you do any towing
out of 3rd gear, the final drive ratio will be equivalent to something like
3.20.
