Dakota

[Riggerdave]

Hey guys,<br /><br />I'm new to boating and have a question. I have a 97 Dakota, V6, extended cab, 2wd, 5 speed manual. Will this package pull the average 20' walk around fisher? My manual says I should be able to pull 4500 pounds.<br /><br />Thanks for the input!<br />Dave

Re: Dakota

As long as you don't load up the boat with too much stuff, RD, (or the truck) you should be okay, but it's cutting it pretty close.<br /><br />If you do it, be sure to get good brakes on the trailer.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: Dakota

riggerdave,<br /><br />I addressed you Dakota question in the other post. The manual transmission just about kills your truck for pulling a rig of 5000 pounds or greater. I believe the tow rating with a manual is 2000.

Re: Dakota

If you plan to tow in the mountains or up any long grades your Dakota is in for a struggle.
