Towing 12,500 Pounds

[Mike McMahan]

Curt, I routinly tow my 28' enclosed race car trailer behind my 89
PT40 8V92. It tows the load just fine. I use the equalizer hitch
and electric brakes on the trailer. I have been in Denver with the
rig with no real problems. Probably the weakest link is the cooling
with that much extra weight. Don't be afraid to turn on the fan
override and leave it on. Prior to the 89 I towed the same trailer
with an 82 pt40 with a 6V92. It would do anything the 89 will but a
bit slower. My trailer with car, golf cart, and misc junk weighs
about 12500. I assume you have checked to see if this is within
the GVW and not over the overall length restrictions. 34' is a long
tounge trailer. Hope this helps. If you need anything else call
me. MIke McMahan 1989 PT 40 WBWL For Sale
