Hi Gary,
I used to pull my Spitfire with a Ranger 6 cyl. It was OK but very difficult
on any sort of hill. I use a medium weight single axle trailer. I had a
trailer tire blow out with this set up once and it was perfectly safe. I was
able to stop the rig with no difficulty, but i was on a flat area of road. I
currently use the same trailer with a Ford F250...MUCH better and I believe
much safer. The motor, brakes, and towing capacity are up to the task on the
larger truck. By the way, I use a 2" receiver hitch with no trailer brakes.
Keep in mind that I modified my trailer to make sure it had a reasonable
tongue weight when loaded - very important for stability.
